| Rule 5: The digits in your password must add up to 25. | 997, 988, 6829, 8863, 55555, 13579, etc. For example, 997 (9 + 9 + 7 = 25) and 988 (9 + 8 + 8 = 25). |
| Rule 7: Your password must include a roman numeral. | I, V, X, L, C, D, or M are examples of single-digit Roman numerals. You just need to include one of them in your password (e.g. X). A Roman numeral needs to be capitalized to count. An uncapitalized Roman numeral will not be counted (e.g. x does not count). |
| Rule 9: The roman numerals in your password should multiply to 35. | XXXV |
| Rule 12: Your password must include a two letter symbol from the periodic table. | Li, Na, Be, Mg, Ca, Rb, etc. You need to capitalize the first letter of the symbol (e.g. Na). If you capitalize both symbols (e.g. NA), you will not pass the rule. |
| Rule 13: Your password must include the current phase of the moon as an emoji. | Google “Moon Phase for Today” to find out the current phase of the moon. Google the emoji for the current phase of the moon to find out what it looks like. Copy and paste the corresponding moon phase into your password:🌑, 🌘, 🌗, 🌖, 🌕, 🌔, 🌓, 🌒, or 🌑. |
| Rule 14: Your password must include the name of this country | Zoom in to the name on the road and Google it to find out the country (if the name is in another language, type the word out in Google Translate).

| Rule 18: The elements in your password must have atomic numbers that add up to 200. | Spam “H” into your password until the rule is satisfied. H is the symbol of Hydrogen in the periodic table.

If you place more than three bugs next to Paul, he will be overfed. Always keep three bugs next to Paul at a time to prevent overfeeding and starvation. For example, if Paul eats one bug and your password only has two bugs, place one more until it reaches three bugs. |
| Rule 24: Your password must include the URL of a YouTube video of this exact length. | Go to youtube.com and search for “x duration timer” (e.g. 12 minutes 12 seconds timer) OR search for “x duration speedrun” (e.g. 12:12 speedrun).
