Just thinking out loud . It occurs to me that if asked in the right way we may be able to get kind of a 2 for 1. If question is focused on one location and format of the key. For example : do digits produced at location x need to be used as 1 part of second key? Do specific letters from location x need to be used as a part of second key? I think leaving the door open by asking if something is part of 2nd key you may be able to target something we have to do at one spot while confirming that more than one place is used. Just a thought.

Another good way to go might be is the second key 10 characters or less? If yes or no we get some kinda of parameter to start with.

This is what I am am thinking to ask
Can key 2 ,or all parts of it, be seen in google maps or street view along the red line area indicated by the previous hint?
My concern is if we are expected to manipulate numbers as we were for the bowling alley this question will not help, we will get a simple NO despite everything we need for the second key being viewable at that location.
Can anyone suggest a better wording?
What I am trying to do is narrow down if everything we need for key two is visible at that location, or do we possibly have to use clues from the stanzas so far not used in addition to what we see.

Maybe a way to ask it, if the whole of key 2 can be found within the red line on google maps. I do think we will need to manipulate data/objects and possibly need to further research some of the areas to come up with the whole of the key. Some (not all) of the clues I've been following appear outside of the red line, so for me, it's all about the geographical boundaries. I don't believe that we can see the actual key parts, but that's just my opinion and obviously I'm still wrong because I haven't solved a thing.

Since we know that no special characters are needed, maybe just ask if the second key is a mixture of numbers and letter? Then we can address if it is a mixture or not.

I would really like to know the format of the second key. Somewhere along the way he mentioned that both keys would have feedback mechanisms to let you know that you have found a key. That being said, I would assume that might mean another phone number or maybe a website. If it were me, I would ask if the second key is a 10 digit number and eliminate the phone option.
And I would like clarification on the last two lines of the cipher. Are they 3 separate ideas or 2 ideas?
That being said, knowing that you can find all parts of the second key on the red line would be great. I know there's a few bits that match up to the cipher but parts of me really hope he didn't highlight that area as a "red herring".

Question sent.
Can key 2 ,or all parts of it, be seen in google maps or street view along the area indicated by red line in your the previous hint?
would have like to have narrowed that question down a bit but could see no logical way to do so. I guess its a case where another two part question is required.

Any idea when he's going to post the hint video?

Nope. I really wish he would just tweet all the hints. Two minutes and it would be done.

Nope. I really wish he would just tweet all the hints. Two minutes and it would be done. I do too! HOWEVER, I think his focus on getting the videos out really confirm what a few have been speculating that he posts visual cues on his videos.

When I emailed the question I did suggest that he simply give an initial reply in twitter before releasing a video, With a newborn child in the family and a corona epidemic to deal with, I would imagine getting a quiet moment to record a video might not be as easy as before. Lukas posted this about an hour ago

So in summary, everything we need for key 2 can be found along that stretch marked out by the red line.
It appears that it is required to manipulate information seen to create the 2nd key.
So now the hunt is on to see what clues has Luka left in the original stanzas, or the subsequent clues that would guide us on what manipulation is used

In this case, I actually think the answer worked better as a video than it would have as a tweet. It wasn't a straight yes or no.
