Re: The Password Game
#12I'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 to see what's next after figuring out the best move in this Chess puzzle.
This reminds me of trying to manually construct an Autogram like below. This one is a quote someone else made. I tried to do it myself and it is so hard because the counts keep changing as you write out other counts!
Only the fool would take trouble to verify that his sentence was composed of ten a's, three b's, four c's, four d's, forty-six e's, sixteen f's, four g's, thirteen h's, fifteen i's, two k's, nine l's, four m's, twenty-five n's, twenty-four o's, five p's, sixteen r's, forty-one s's, thirty-seven t's, ten u's, eight v's, eight w's, four x's, eleven y's, twenty-seven commas, twenty-three apostrophes, seven hyphens and, last but not least, a single !

#13Neal has outdone himself yet again. I had it until the roman numerals and adding upto 25 ones but lost my cool when it said it must include today's wordle answer. Screaming and crying.
I gave up on rule 18: The elements in your password must have atomic numbers that add up to 200.

Re: The Password Game
#15Earlier quoted context omitted.
It’s the sum of the individual digits, so 25 sums to 7, and your second one sums to way more than 25
funny that i had to remove weight of my initial digit since the CAPTCHA (rule10) :>
The captcha could itself add up to more than 25, making an immediate game over
Re: The Password Game
#16Got stuck at rule 18, not sure what an atomic number is in this context

I gave up when I needed to represent the best chess move in algebraic notation, but I couldn't because the text from the captcha I had to solve earlier contained an illegal move... rage
Re: The Password Game
#18I gave up after having to include a leap year (Rule 15), I don't know if this is a spoiler but I ended up with January99Pepsi?XXXVggd7maboutZrJapan (there was an emoji in there for the current moon phase but HN stripped it out) Looking at the code it should be possible to get a lot further, in theory. Wonder how Paul is doing!
The country is randomized; mine was Albania (that was NOT easy to figure out!)

I wonder if the password becomes invalid if you leave the tab open for 24 hours...

I saw a hot spring and got a very lucky guess, I can imagine there are a lot of hard ones in there yeah!
