Did someone on /g/ craft Cicada 3301? Or was it someone else

>>58878751
youre breaking the rules anon. Its a game looking for the top cryptographers in the world.

Not that I heard through the grape vine, but strange how tor is aging isnt it? Hmm I wonder who could be engineering a new one...

I would like to think the most brilliant minds in cryptography are not regularly browsing /g/.

>>58879023
well is ur question answered then?

>>58879000
That's one of the most interesting ways to hire people I've ever heard of.
I wish more mysterious companies were this much fun.

Are you kidding?

if your able to solve at least 3 cicada puzzles you are put on a CIA hitlist and will be taken out

I have solid info on that

Lies

I got pretty far on the puzzle. I found a secret code Ihad to use to verify myself with once I met them.

Not sure if the code was encrypted or if i had tocproccess it further, and I didnt get any further in the puzzle solving either. Too bad

Their goal is to advance humanity by putting us all into a hivemind sentient AI.
