Paul info within

spoiler

To keep Paul alive for a long time you can put newlines in front and the newlines get removed before the food does, but it doesn't overfeed.

even with the above I couldn't ever find a video of length 24:45. the youtube timers are all a second or two off. I wasn't gonna upload one, so my final solution was (youtube url was incorrect)

I created a video of the correct length using the Windows built-in video editor and uploaded that. The problem is, to get this right, the link cannot have roman numerals (except for I and V) and the atomic weights cannot be too high.

So I kept re-uploading until I had a URL without roman numerals and without high atomic weights.

And then I took too long thinking about the next thing, even though it was trivial, and that dumb chicken starved.

That's the spirit.

Nice game, thanks for sharing ! I stopped at rule 24, looking for videos with correct length and url was tok frustrating for me...

[–] geo@vlemmy.net 5 points 2 years ago

Ha, this was brilliant. I got up until the chess move!

thanks I hate it

I wonder what is the last rule there...

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I gave up at "Roman numerals must multiply to 35"

[–] riskable@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

I used "VVII" for that one 🤷

Did anyone else get the periodic table elements that must add up to 200 atoms? I'm not sure, but I think it was impossible since my captcha included an "Nd".

I figured out what random country I got dropped into was, but I cannot for the life of me figure out the best chess move. Made it though up to rule 16 with this:

I wonder how many of us went hunter2 right off the bat

Holy hell, rule 16.

[–] Black616Angel@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Rule 16 if your captcha contains e4 and it's not even a legal move

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago

So, it turns out I didn't actually get en passant. Also, it will ignore illegal moves if the correct one is there.

[–] mykl@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Put your move before the captcha

[–] jmsw22@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Ever rule after rule 5 made laugh audibly. Great work.

[–] laxe@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Can't believe that in 2023 we still rely on passwords so much, even more so when there are silly rules for password "strength".

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This is weirdly fun. Man, I love that website.

Edit: Paul died and I'm trying again. I'm pretty sure there's a checkmate on this board that it won't accept.

[–] snaf@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

My captcha and chess move add up to more than 25 😢

[–] canpolat@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You can change the captcha by refreshing it using the button next to it
