Finally finished it. It has been so stressful.

"Congratulations! You have sucessfully chosen a password in 211 characters."

I got lucky when I found a bug with Paul (otherwise I would have given up)

For anyone else who was struggling to make the leap year work with all the other math: 0 is a leap year. For anyone else struggling with how to make the country name work with roman numerals or element names, you can lowercase the country name then it doesn't count as a roman numeral nor element. If your chess move is illegal, make sure you're also notating the effect of the move (Nxe6 for N captures on e6, not just…

I changed my phone's clock to 1:00 and it worked for me

I cycled through _so_ many hex colors and youtube videos. I found that searching the length in the youtube search bar led to plenty options. I even chose to exclude 'x' which was _so_ dumb as I had to switch my XXXV to a V and VII, making life much harder for myself. Ultimately I finally got a password with length 211, including the current time, that fit all of the rules! [spoiler] the final step has you re-type you…

Same length as mine

Got to the final answer but then I had to re-enter my password before a bomb blew up and it wouldn't let me copy my password. Anyone manage to do that last part? Is it even possible e.g. if you copy your password before that's disabled?

I copied it when it asked me to confirm my password and pasted it.

It worked instantly.

Can you please tell me? I've been stuck on it for an hour and a half.... I really need help ;-;

tl;dr K = King Q = Queen B = Bishop R = Rook N = Knight Pawns have no letter . You append a "+" to the end when it is a check move You append a "#" to the end when it's a checkmate move You add an "x" when your move eats another piece . Examples - Moving a rook to g6: Rg6 - Moving a queen to d7 which eats a piece: Qxd7 - Moving a bishop to a3 which checks the opponents king: Ba3+ - Moving a pawn to e5: e5 - Moving a…

Just adding promotion

- d8N# pawn moves and promotes to a knight resulting in checkmate (it can happen)

In one of my tries, I got a 3D model for the Geo guesser puzzle. Anyone know what/where this is: https://imgur.com/gallery/7r13Et9 ? Edit: I had saved the url, but I don't know how to use it - https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!4v1686332716861!6m8!1m...

Try Dubai or Abu Dhabi?

Italy? Interesting that it is giving different locations. I got Qatar.

I got Colombia, and C is a roman numeral so I think I'm stuck. edit: nevermind I can just make it lowercase.

I got colombia to, you just have to make the letter lowercase!
