Story

What the post asked, what the answer turned out to be, and what the chain says happened. The record below holds the data.

Hoax

"Zhang Yingyu 1617", the author of the Book of Swindles. Misdirection, from a book about misdirection.

The answer is Hoax, a word the author found inside the block 33 prize address, 137SFKp9MPjymMQVk85oarHoaxUd9QyeiA. That address goes into the field. One of the author's favorites.

The original post later vanished from the subreddit. On April 24 the author reposted it "as it was", and the repost is the source here.

Published answer
Solution for this was the word Hoax, which was a lucky find in the funding address of the previous block. That funding address also went into the BFUB field for this block.

officialSolution is one word, capitalization will be evident. BFUB text is my favorite Bitcoin address.
