No new puzzle posted by anyone else yet, so here's one that doesn't require cultural knowledge:

Put the required keys into as many locks even when suspicious. The central thing to remember is that counting by twos can be fun. The only other thing to remember is that starting back at the beginning is not always the best idea. At times, a mathematical variable can be used to solve the problem. But, sometimes simple logic, can be enough to get the job done. Whatever you do, do not fall into the trap of reading everything I just said.

I'm not sure if people have tried and need a hint maybe, or if nobody has even seen the puzzle.

I haven't followed how this thread developed, but is this about factorials? (!)

Thinking this cause in probability it makes no sense to re-visit the start, since usually the starting position is filled by everything possible.

HINT:

Spoiler
Your method was correct but just wrongly applied. The hint to how to apply this method is in the third sentence.

Cassie already found the key in the first sentence.
