    “Your password must include the URL of a 23 minute 42 second long YouTube video.”

    I did 32nd Rule but I broke Rule 5. I wasn’t going to juggle the hex colour, the length of the password, the captcha, and the youtube url, so that the numbers add to 25… Don’t know if it’s possible even…

    edit: 31 to 32 was hard, I added a before pic as well, had to change strategy.

      Impressive. I never got past the YouTube URL. But I refresh the captcha until it doesn’t contain any numbers so that it doesn’t mess with the “25”. Still, it the YouTube video contains too many numbers, then it’s difficult.

        Didn’t even think that the captcha could be numberless… And now that I look at it youtube urls had no number… F***!

        Maybe it’s a good think I quit, I have work to do :P

    Let me just say: screw Paul and his inability to pace himself when eating. I just gave him a bunch of food to satiate him and he decided to eat it all at once and die from overeating…

    Cool concept though!

    I thought I was so smart spamming the caterpillars into the password. I overfed Paul.

    The funniest moment has to have been when I Googled “9 minute 34 second Youtube video” and there was at least one video literally titled “9 MINUTES AND 34 SECONDS TIMER COUNTDOWN [574 seconds - 9:34]” and the video was 9 minutes 49 seconds long. I proceeded to Google different numbers of seconds looking for one that hit the perfect number and literally none of the videos, despite seemingly hundreds of videos of very specific times happened to fall on the 9 minute 34 second mark. Like, what insane world is happening in the great depths of Youtube where people spend hours posting completely arbitrary timers on Youtube, but specifically avoid ones that are 9 minutes, 34 seconds in length. I felt set up. I was rolling in laughter. 10/10 would spend my night Googling Youtube timers and overfeeding an emoji chicken again.

    That was fun! I couldn’t put out the fire on mobile, I couldn’t move the cursor around fast enough, and then Paul starved 🙀

    I gave up around the roman numbers because I chose to include May

    Think I should try again.

    edit: okay, I’m going to call it on the Wordle rule.

      im case you tackle it again, the month does not need to be capitalized, and if its lower case, it doesn’t count as a roman numeral

      I accidentally overfed him, which I guess is just as bad due to the Dark Souls themed overlay lol.

      I got to this same result on my 3rd attempt, and had to throw in the towel. Everything’s randomized every time.

    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)
