Help me with the hex to image conversion!
Here's my hex code:
http://pastebin.com/htR5DVnU

I put it in a hex editor and save it as a.jpg but my image viewer says the file cannot be loaded/opened!

It works for me. Try a different hex editor

Here is the image

[NorrisK]

I found an identical image in an image search, so I assume it wasn't edited.
On the youtube link, respecting the original letter-case, would give something like http://httPs://www.yOutube.cOM/watch?v=MaeWS??2-?w, which doesn't help much as there are over 250k possibilities.

If it links to a youtube video, its probably useless.. Because we found a youtube video which was just for distraction, check some posts above

The person who posted the YouTube link dis not explain how he got it.. He probably just wanted to Rick roll us all.. I don't think that was the real link?

Agreed, there are now two different paths to the same partial youtube address, and the url of the rickrock video did not match.

This puzzle is awesome. Kudos to the OP. I figured a few of these. I'm going to first post some hints before giving the answer away. No guarantee my answers are correct though!

Oh dear, I do wish I hadn't cried so much.

Good Job Well, I was still thinking there was a secret code hidden somewhere and we had to mail the code to cipher1337@hotmail.com xD

[coblee]

I think each answer is 5 characters that combine in a private key.

[NorrisK]

I think each answer is 5 characters that combine in a private key.

You still would need it to start with a 5 right? and private keys are 51 characters? We are then missing a character (or we switch the 5 and 2 or what was the hint on that?)

They could also start with a K or L if they are uncompressed. Also, some of them might not be 5 characters. I think number 1 is more than 5.

Has anyone figured out number 6 yet?

At the first clue in the hex view of the png file there is a text at the end it say:
".2CkB3.REPLACE 1 WITH 2. did you enjoy the fake cipher ?"

Maybe the 51th character is the z from this quote?

[NorrisK]

I'm guessing we are all trying too hard..

There are several references to keeping it simple:

"did you enjoy the fake cipher?"
"Don't make it harder then what it really is."
"Oh dear, I do wish I hadn't cried so much."

and

Alice in Wonderland (it is all just a dream?)

Maybe it is just in front of our eyes?

we've got quite a few answers alike ! good work! i think i got one other theory about the book / Video, i'll post them later

[MF Doom]

"Change position of 5 an 2 and you will get it much easier or maybe I'm just fooling you again. You never know"

If you ignore the numbers it says "Change position of an and" - Is there an "and" somewhere that can be switched around?

[trior]

4(1)x5(2)x1(1)x1(2)x*6* __-__

name(character)        jeBa6
character(name)        tsBj6

just guessing !!

[achow101]

I figured out the beginning I think. The whole cipher seems to be a private key, although I am missing a few characters.

Disregard 1 because

REPLACE 1 WITH 2. did you enjoy the fake cipher ?

Then number 2 becomes the front. The hint of number 2 is

2hee5

If we

Change position of 5 an 2

then we get

5hee2

which looks like the beginning of a private key.

[coblee]

I think "REPLACE 1 WITH 2" means to swap the 2 positions.  1's answer is 2CkB3

[Sakarias-Corporation]

I am very glad that you enjoy the cipher/puzzle so far

[achow101]

I am very glad that you enjoy the cipher/puzzle so far

Can you give us a hint for number 6?
