I only got to the captcha because I was on mobile and couldn't be arsed to make precise edits, but I am very impressed by how slick and funny they made a password modal

8 AD was a leap year.

so where 0 and 4 ;)

Debatable - the concept of leap years was invented before 0 AD/CE but I'm not aware of any reason to believe that particular year (which certainly wasn't called 0 AD at the time, it was possibly the Roman year 753) was considered to be one.

Super fun. Sadly I accidentally killed Paul by misclicking while trying to simultaneously include the right elements and Roman numerals.

I know nothing about geography or landmarks so I just grabbed the lat/long from the Google Maps iframe embed and looked it up.

Turned out to be Cambodia for me!

I also had to figure out how to enter chess notation. As it turns out you have to add "x" after the piece if you want to capture or "+" suffix for check.

Ah. That might be it... Anyhow after staring at that chess challenge I was sure to get a mate in two moves with the Qh6 but the captcha filled with numbers plus the add to 25 left me with only 3 to spare... So no way am I winning this game.

You can refresh the captcha. I had to a couple of times.

Just use XXXV? No need to do 5 * 7

it parses the V in XXXV as an element group

But that's not a problem because that leaves you with only V and R which add to 98, so you only need to add some others to get it up to 200.
