Got further than I expected, but I’m no good at chess.
Qxe6 I think
Then black will have to play Rxe6 and then you play Rf8#
Phew, I did it again, and I got to Rule 33 (so 32 was the last I made). That's a big improvement from 25 (which was my previous record). But that was already incredibly hard and the additional constraint made it basically impossible for me. So I looked up how many there are, and damn… I really almost made it. Although those last constraints really make it that hard, someone really finishing it must be insanely good and persistent.
Old but gold
I got to rule 11 before giving up. Surely someone can do better?
I stuck on rule 14 or so where you have to know the country based on street maps, but did have to look up today's wordle (rule 12?) since I don't play that.
Idk if the country is random; I got norway.
Fuck Google Maps btw.
I had never played Wordle before today, but it’s free with no sign-in through your browser. I was surprised I got it in 3. Took like 5 minutes from the second guess to the third though lol.
Got to rule 14 but Malaysia as the country made it impossible to get the Roman numerals to multiply to 35
You can write the country in lowercase letters only.
Awesome, I’ve just found the next password rule generator for work
I completed up to rule 13 but couldn't do 14 because I couldn't load the image of the country.
Here is my attempt, with the CAPTCHA at the end: Hqh$mayVVIIshellyPb🌖55-y5w28
I got 15, but I'm not learning chess notation for 16.

I got to 24. A URL for a YouTube video with a specific length is just gonna be too much for me.
I got to "AAAHHH! Your password is on fire! Quick, put it out!"
Made it past the fire, but then it turns out that Paul can be overfed.
same; very infuriating
