How speedrunners beat The Password Game in 24 seconds

This speedrun has gotten incredibly optimized, here's how

Also the YouTube spreadsheet was originally made by @shelerr, formatted by @bleachdev, and then futhur formated by glowblock64. I apologize for not explaining this in the video!
Title inspiration: @tomatoanus

My channel generally focuses on a more casual side of speedruns. With these videos I want to show off cool speedruns, explain how they work, and entertain. Hopefully you enjoy the content and maybe even take up speedrunning yourself, because it is truly a lot of fun!

This one single notification might make me run this again.

Just one thing to clarify since I don't want to take all the credit for that - the YT spreadsheet was originally made by shelerr in a more simple form, then later Bleach (some might have seen his world's first sub-1 minute) was the one who made this version with the formatting, I only made minor formatting changes and optimized the pretyped password after that.

[hi]

Asking you to re-type your password is so evil

I’ve seen many people do the password game, yet I never realized that “rule 34” says, “uhhh let’s skip this one” 😂

[nathankoh]

Vanadiums symbol is V btw, Vh isnt an element. But rule 18 asks for all elements to add up to 200 so thats okay ig, it still works out

Fun fact: This game was never meant to be on src. Site staff rejected it multiple times. What happened was a series mod added the game to an unrelated series, then removed it from that series in order to bypass the game request process.

[Ilariona]

for your rule 16 you deflected the knight by sacrificing the queen so it stops protecting e6 square. And after knight takes queen you just move E pawn for checkmate

You know the password is going to be wild when it forces you to dig up your old chemistry books to complete it

i love watching speedrun videos i would never have the patience for this hobby but it's so fun to see what absolutely unhinged strategies people come up with

I can confirm that the Wordle was harsh on September 13th. The double H almost did me in

[sirglitchalot]

How did these people get my orange website password?

[Iwatoda_Dorm]

Glad to see this pop up! I was just watching a short on this and completely forgot how this blew up and that I missed out on seeing it for myself.

2:40 The code probably checks if [year] % 4 has a value of 0. 0 % 4 is 0, so it checks out ig

[eragonshadeslayer]

Reason why Qf5+ works:
1. Qf5+ Nxf5 (Knight captures Queen on f5)
2. e6# checkmate, as the pair of bishops cut off all paths of retreat for the enemy king and the Knight that could have captured the pawn on e6 was deflected by the Queen sacrifice.

I haven't seen this game played before, so I was delighted by how lawful evil the "retype your pw without copying/pasting" bit is 🤭

[HFIAPY]

Dang it took me like hours and Paul fricking died 😭😭😭

[DanielFlailed]

Dang, I did this in about 20 minutes from scratch last year and thought that I was a genius. Outclassed again

[strifera]

I just edited the page source to finish in 0 seconds. Much easier and IMHO completely within the spirit of the game.

[CasuallyShadow]

I love how he's doing Summoning Salt type of speedrun explanations (not the same style but you know), would love to see more!

[kiritotheabridgedgod]

While this is fine, I feel like the better optimisation category, is the one where you optimise for the smallest possible password in terms of length.

WHERE DO YOU FIND AND MEMORIZE THESE STRATS????
