I hate Paul...

I made it up to rule 25 and then Paul starved because I was thinking too long about which characters to ban.

To make it over Rule 24 (Paste the URL of a Youtube video with a certain random length), I even created a video with the correct length and kept uploading it to Youtube to get a URL without roman numerals and decently usable atomic weights.

When I tried it again after that dumb chicken starved, I hit Youtube's maximum daily upload limit. Now Youtube thinks I am a spambot or something.

Btw, there are 35 rules total, in case anyone else makes it over 24. And spoiler, the one that got me doesn't matter at all. It's one of the easiest of all.

That's a heroic effort! I laughed so hard.

I tag teamed with someone and they were constantly counting to make sure Paul got fed while I tried to find a 23m03s YouTube video

I got a text HOURS saying “I can still hear myself counting” lol

Do you know what all the rules are? Could you perhaps put it in a spoiler quoted comment? I'm not about to get through all of these rules lol.
