As a someone who frequently argues with IT teams over ridiculous hidden password rules that drive crappy user experience I feel triggered by this game.

My company finally went to a non expiring multi-word based policy. Took them a major breach but finally some sanity.

I hate Paul...

I made it up to rule 25 and then Paul starved because I was thinking too long about which characters to ban.

To make it over Rule 24 (Paste the URL of a Youtube video with a certain random length), I even created a video with the correct length and kept uploading it to Youtube to get a URL without roman numerals and decently usable atomic weights.

When I tried it again after that dumb chicken starved, I hit Youtube's maximum daily upload limit. Now Youtube thinks I am a spambot or something.

Btw, there are 35 rules total, in case anyone else makes it over 24. And spoiler, the one that got me doesn't matter at all. It's one of the easiest of all.
