I'm stuck at "iatetomatoesyesterday0265Z#521juneVpepsiVIIxngxcaboutAg[moon emojis]italy2020Bf7+" trying to solve the chess notation puzzle. I especially laughed at the rule "must include today's Worldle" and I'm happy with my solution including every emoji for "must include the current phase of the moon as an emoji." (HackerNews doesn't seem to display emoji. My solution is to paste every moon phase emoji.) Excited t…

I got the chess one pretty easily but I'm stuck on "The elements in your password must have atomic numbers that add up to 200". I haven't found a way to satisfy both this and "The roman numerals in your password should multiply to 35" simultaneously. Iodine (I) and Uranium (U) have high atomic numbers which blow out way higher than 200 and I haven't found a way to avoid them. Edit: OK, just realised that it's case se…

XXXV also works for the roman numerals.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I had a chess move that's Rg8+ but Rg has an atomic number of 111...

You wanna start the chess move with Q...

Many of the puzzles are different for each player, I personally had Rf8+

Love it :D

Reminds me of something I built a few years ago, to answer spammers who keep contacting me with their offers of "services": https://cingen.net/moostik/signup/

The most insistent one tried 31 times (the rules are conflicting and it's impossible to satisfy the answer). Special attention was given to the security questions, but somehow spammers keep picking the simplest one.

I loved the Google maps street view bit. I couldn’t exit street view and the road signs were in Cyrillic. Had to walk a long way before I could search for some landmarks and guess Belarus.

Hah! I was wondering about that. Mine dropped me into what looks like a 3D modeled version of a real place, but sandboxed - there's no way to move around. (that iframe embed is: https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!4v1686332716861!6m8!1m... ) It led me down the path of reverse engineering these URLs though, so that's fun.

here is the street view link:
