Thank you for playing and for the feedback!

I was definitely expecting that puzzle to be a bit of a challenge, because it requires a bit of a different mind set than the rest.

The brute force approach should have worked for another line, but here are some hints:

hint The numbers are not atomic numbers in *that* sense.
hint Think about what the word "atomic" means, its Greek root "atomos" especially.
hint It means "indivisible", what could that mean in this context?
solution
are you sure?
are you really really sure? There are exactly two prime numbers, *indivisible* if you will, the element after it is the passphrase.

Re: your (very useful!) feedback,

  1. I’ll look into that, I didn’t notice it looking ambiguous.
  2. I was considering adding the 2 “ ## “ , but worried that would make it too easy, I’ll consider it.
  3. There are ways to find it without inspecting every single frame,
for example diffing all the frames at once in gimp, the text appeared quite clearly.
4. I'll probably update the "install instructions" to note that it is not an executable file with the next update, thanks. I also thought about making it executable by embedding a binary at the start, but that would only work for one platform.

Thanks again, very useful feedback! :)

just got it! thanks for the quick reply. And considering im greek myself it was pretty embarrassing not thinking about it 😅
And my brute-force thing was working, it was just me mixing up 0-based index vs 1-based index in my code... on to the next level 👍

(edit: just finished the game it was fun thanks)

Glad to hear you managed to complete it, thanks so much for giving it a go!
