I just wanted to post to let all you folks who spent alot of hours trying to figure this out, so sorry for the Necro post:

In the end, i figured out the answer to #1 (0.025 BTC). After trying many difficult and overly complicated answers, and based on all of the other answers it seemed like it should be more straight forward, i thought back to the change from 5 to 2 in the 2nd video that was posted on here, so i tried some things, then i noticed 2 things:

5-2 = 3
and 5784623964023, if you think of it of 5 to 2, then its either 578462 or 578462396402. 578462396402 (also, removing the 3) would mean a typo, which have been made clear that a few were made in the Brainwallets. So, in the end, the brain wallet was:

5784623964023 578462396402

I was shocked when i got it!

Who knows what the other unsolved ones are, but that is irrelevant now. I suppose there is 0.01 in #30, which i think most people said is Satoshis white paper, although there is no real clues as to what it might be aside from that.

Also, i noticed the contest website now goes to a 502.

Wow, you got it! I was actually looking back at this a few months ago, given that there were still those unclaimed funds, but I couldn't figure it out. In the process, though, I think I discovered what may have happened with that first clue while looking through the Bitcoin address history. It looks like what happened was that they filled the address that corresponded with the first clue, but then moved it back to the source address, and then moved it into #1's address, and the contest page's interface didn't display it right or something. If I'm recalling it correctly, all you need to do is follow the transaction history backwards from the address that you just solved on the block explorer to see what I'm talking about: https://blockchain.info/address/1NKUXbr2URfQyzREPUzoj4MR4ytF5mEm8u

I think the solution was initially supposed to be 2784623964023 2784623964023 (which is what the numbers on the coin edges changed to when the screen sweeped on the original video) but a mistake was made or they just changed their mind to make it harder, and it ended up being moved out of that corresponding brain wallet and into the one that you just solved. It looks like the transaction history on the Rushwallet site is no longer updating, (Speaking of which, Rushwallet is now saying "This site will no longer be available as of APRIL 15 2018"), but it's all on the Bitcoin block explorer if you know the addresses.

Here are my notes on the solutions and the corresponding Bitcoin addresses (I didn't grab all the Bitcoin addresses, but they can be gotten for all the ones we have a solution for):
