> Rule 5: The digits in your password must add up to 25.

Im already stuck here with `Password!25XXV` or `Password!1234567890123456789012345` or `Password!34` (9+25)

I'm not native english, so if there is a pun in the rules description, I might not get it :'(



It’s the sum of the individual digits, so 25 sums to 7, and your second one sums to way more than 25


funny that i had to remove weight of my initial digit since the CAPTCHA (rule10) :>


The captcha could itself add up to more than 25, making an immediate game over


You can request a new captcha without restarting


Same. I had a captcha and chess move that added to 29.

Copy your password and reload to continue with only a few missed rules.


It means sum, so 55555 would work


got it, thank you!


It means individual digits e.g. 997 === 9 + 9 + 7
