Almost gave up on the Chess notiation, but now "All the vowels in your password must be bolded." clashes with the requirement to include a captcha and reloading this unleashes all kinds of problem, so game over

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…

The worldle one I found kind of annoying because now I have to go play another game to keep going, one I don't find all that interesting.

You can just search for the answer to save having to do that

I had to use stockfish

Haha, yeah I used Chess.com analysis and it gave me a clearly best sequence of moves (three to checkmate) but it didn't take the first move from white that it asked for. :( I saw many other struggle with this one too. Anyway, I gave up here and seeing some of the subsequent steps I doubt I'll reach the end anyway!

Now it seems progress has become literally impossible because the chess move + the captcha includes digits that add up to more than 25. I guess having to restart is intended to be part of the game, or is this a bug?

Well, you could always upload your own YouTube video... Make the generator use Pupetter and your YT credentials to upload an empty mp4 video of the given length.

I uploaded a video quick just to pass that step since the length was hard to find. The generated video ID was a bunch of Roman numerals so I was totally fucked.

Re-upload until you get a good ID

Cannot get past rule 5, tried a bunch of different solutions from this thread but nothing works. Maybe a browser quirk ( I'm on Brave IOS)

Anybody else have the same problem?
