The said password involves a whole hurdle of hoops in a variety of subjects, and need we mention the whole "real-time" bullcrap? Well, we never said the amount of rules there were....

You can always add more atomic symbols, so there's no need to have a particularly high one for Rule 12. If anything, you want a low one, since if you picked a high one, there's a good chance that the other mandatory elements of your password will put you over 200.


** Rule 12 requires you to put in a two-letter atomic symbol. Well, just make sure you put a high one, as Rule 18 REQUIRES you to put the amount of atomic numbers equaling to 200.

* LuckBasedMission: The CAPTCHA in rule 10 can easily disrupt your run. Similarly, rule 14 is a Google Map that challenges you to find where the map is, then put that country in the password. Depending on the area the map puts you, it can either be easy as pie if you know these locations, a quick search away, or near impossible to determine. Rule 16 also gives you a Chess game in progress, randomly generated, and asks you for the best move for the current turn. Easy if you know Chess, a nightmare if you don't. Given that the answer for some of these types of rules is randomized, you may get answers that may make your final password much more difficult to complete due to them interacting with other rules, if not nigh-impossible.

* UnwinnableByDesign: The game has no intention of guaranteeing that the password is even possible. Additionally, there's no safety for players that sacrifice the wrong letters, and they're required for something important.

* ContinuingIsPainful: The game is made out of over 30 ridiculous tasks. If Paul dies or you quit, you'll need to start over.

* NonStandardGameOver: While it's easy to mess up and invalidate an earlier rule by accident while trying to satisfy another rule, that can be bounced back from if you're smart. Once Paul is thrown in, however, things change; if you let the fire from rule 20 engulf him, starve him or overfeed him once he's hatched, or [[ViolationOfCommonSense simply delete him from the password]], the game switches to a message that Paul has been slain. Once this message is here, you can't change the password anymore, forcing you to start a new run.
