Earlier quoted context omitted.

"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?

Not sure. It's working for me

Your password must be at least 5 characters. Your password must include a number. Your password must include an uppercase letter. Your password must include a special character. The digits in your password must add up to 25. Your password must include a month of the year. Your password must include a roman numeral. Your password must include one of our sponsors: The roman numerals in your password should multiply to…

You forgot rule 24: Your password must include the URL of a x minute and y second long youtube video

The digits in your password must add up to 25 what do they mean with this?

you can go with any combination usually 55555 = 25 or 64555 = 25 you get the gist just add the digits til you get 25

excellent! now can you solve this? https://neal.fun/password-game/

Are some of them unsolvable? Mine says has to include the captcha 52447 & chess move Rxg6+ & leap year and add up to 25.

From the captcha + the chess move alone I am already above 25... I tried subtracting, did not work. Anyone have an idea here?

Should be pretty easy, since you can check the generated password against all the criteria. Making it fast might be difficult though

I don't think it's easy. Verification is much easier than generating correct solutions for this. Looking at the JS, these rules use RNG such that you can have an inconsistent or impossible password. E.g. if the only youtube video URLs that work with your duration have roman numerals that multiply above 35 in it you are hard stuck. Your youtube URL can also hard stuck your atomic number summation to 200 if it happens…

For a given video length, there will be some youtube video urls without roman numerals, and with low digit sum, and atomic number.

I first search this on Google

"0:00 / mm:ss" site:youtube.com

Where mm:ss is the desired length. Then I used some Javascript to scrape the results, finding only youtube urls without roman numbers, and print them out sorted by digit sum and atomic number

I've done it a few times, never had a situation where there was no suitable url

As for the color hex, if it's not suitable, you can regenerate it
