and say we want to find a pattern "166". One of the solutions takes a form of a private key
B18427B169E86DE681A1A62588E1D02AE4A7E83C1B413849989A76282A7B562F
mapping to public key:
049C95E0949E397FACCECF0FE8EAD247E6FD082717E4A4A876049FB34A9ADED110DFEA2EF691CC4 A1410498F4C312F3A94318CD5B6F0E8E92051064876751C8404
Sorry for my terrible math, but how is that private key a solution to the pattern "166"? That private key makes the address 12gFLYWpfnDTQ3JB5w5VDPpF5JQZnA1g1c it doesn't have 166 in it. The math doesn't lie and if you add the two private keys together you do get an address with "166" in it, but where did this one come from? How would one do this with vanitygen?
