Got stuck at rule 18, not sure what an atomic number is in this context

Password26$_june_pepsi_VIIV_33p4e_about__germanyQxh7+



P = phosphorus, atomic number 15

V = vanadium, 23

I = Iodine, 53

So in your password they add up to 167


Actually Pa from "Password" will br Protactinium at 91. I also started off by typing password and had to change the Pa to a smaller element.


Oh man I feel silly, I’ve spent the past few days doing Project Euler puzzles and was fixated on it being a number satisfying special properties
