That was fun! Kinda hit the wall at the youtube link rule. Couldn't find a way to search YT videos by exact length, so you either need to get super lucky and find one randomly or upload such a video yourself. Then you better hope the video URL does not contain any roman numerals... All while keeping Paul fed (but not overfed!)

Same, this was also my limit.

I think at that point the game requires two players cooperating. One searches for YouTube videos while the other is feeding Paul.

I got through YouTube by searching for speed run “mm:ss” since speedrun videos usually have the speedrun time in the title. Then it’s just a matter of searching for speed runs of slightly shorter times than it until you happen across a video which is both of appropriate length plus or minus the one second tolerance it gives, and which doesn’t kill either your Roman numerals or elements

Great tip, thanks. Might give it a go
