I learned more from your concise post than I ever have from articles, Wikipedia, etc.
For Real. I finally understood chess notation.

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…
Thanks for this. What if two rooks can both get to e5, how do you disambiguate?

#473In 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...

I'm impressed you were able to not get tangled up by the youtube/captcha/color hex/roman numeral mess! The youtube one is what screwed me over and over out of all my attempts
"00:00 / : " youtube Google that, including the quotes, replace the minutes and seconds with your given time, then look through the results and find a URL which fits the password criteria. Every result should be a video with that duration. If it isn't, check your useragent. I noticed some weirdness with that.
Hmm, I tried googling "00:00 / 17:02" youtube and none of the results were the right duration on both Chrome and Firefox. Any ideas?

#476A warning to future players: I got to rule 16 and was given an egg named paul that I had to keep safe. Then on rule 18 a fire (of emojis) broke out in my password, killing paul and ending the game. Dont be like me, keep Paul safe.
Later on there is a rule where you have to feed Paul bugs, and I lost by feeding him too much
Paul needs 3 bugs every minute. Overfeeding him looses the game
Don't be like me, don't overfeed Paul

#477I'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 fail at wordle and get the correct answer revealed at the end.

This is indeed what ended up transpiring, but only after trying really hard to figure it out all the while thinking the meanings of gold and green were the opposite of eachother.
I take puzzles way too seriously, and I suck at word puzzles.

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…

that's when i gave up - it took the game from solving puzzles to fast-reaction video gaming.
