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 ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) 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.

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?

Maybe the 51th character is the z from this quote? “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?" "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to." "I don't much care where –" "Then it doesn't matter which way you go.” Beautiful Quote. sadly a distraction z

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?

"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?

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.

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