I read the comments here first and expected the O and 0 to be indistinguishable, but for me it's prety easy to tell.

See for yourself - I flipped a 0 and an O on this image, can you tell where? https://imgur.com/a/3hcg3zH

I see the O flipped to 0, but the 0 flipped to O doesn't look out of place to me.

real question - so how did you know there was an 0 flipped to O as well?

not sarcastic.

(For me it's easy but I prepared the modified image, so not blinded - hence my question that it's easy, right.)

I honestly can't. And in any case, the real test is the individual characters in isolation.
