sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 40976EAF437D05B5

Will add the key for the PPA you added but failed to add the key.

You cannot install "Adobe", it's a company, just like you can't install "microsoft" but you can install "Microsoft Word". "Adobe" is not a software

You can run:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash; sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer

And it will install 64bit flash
