I got a (seemingly?) impossible problem: - roman numerals must multiply to 35 - my chess move is: Rf7+ - Atomic numbers of elements must add up to 200 So I need V, VII and Rf7+ in there but then the atomic numbers are way past 200 already.

I have a similar problem -- the Google Maps country I got is China, and the C is already 100 -- how do multiply it "down" to 35? Can I do parenthetical math similar to what a sibling comment suggested?

Update: I found the answer in another comment -- I can make the c lowercase! Thank you HN!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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…

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

I am stuck with “ Agtractbnc2fshellXXXVjune995$” and can’t figure out the guess the country one. I have the one where you are in a cave with a lot of people with a hit with a no smoking and no shoes sign

I may have had that one; there was southeast asian writing on a sign and it was Malaysia.

can someone help me on rule 18 (the elements in your password must have atomic numbers that add up to 200)? I'm not sure what it's asking 3:

HHeLiBeBNOFNeNaMgAlSiPSArK” verwenden, da die Ordnungszahlen von Wasserstoff (1), Helium (2), Lithium (3), Beryllium (4), Bor (5), Stickstoff (7), Sauerstoff (8), Fluor (9), Neon (10), Natrium (11), Magnesium (12), Aluminium (13), Silizium (14), Phosphor (15), Schwefel (16), Argon (18) und Kalium (19) zusammen 200 ergeben.
