The Ultimate API Endpoint Workaround

This guy just bypassed the age validation with a brilliant regex-like workaround! When most would give up at the 30 > 23 comparison, he identified that emails have no age restriction—the classic "if (rejected) { try_alternative_route(); }" pattern. It's the programming equivalent of getting a 403 Forbidden response and immediately checking if there's an unprotected API endpoint. Smooth operator found the backdoor in the authentication flow!
