So after my attempt at the deciphering of Cicada 3301, I came up with 3302, I was interested in Cicada so I looked them up, and though maybe the cicada portrayed was a Male instead of Female, based on the Colon at the bottom of the code.
Anyone else still working on this or have they stopped?

Okay so after further investigation, I found a valid pennsylvania phone number, with an impersonal voicemail greeting, so I left a voicemail with them. It was a valid phone number that involved code associated with the decipher with a pattern of -1,+1,-1,+1,-1,+1.

Is this recent?
When did they post this?
>>8591042
Yeah, basically, but with more MUH CRYPTIC and people who think tgey are going to be part of a secret society or organization

Op here, I just finally thought it was interesting enough to take a crack at it. I got to a text only phone number, so I left a couple texts. I might post back here later if I get a response. I might not.

According to numberphile, +1-1+1...=1/2 thus 1+2+3...=-1/12 and since 1+(1+1)+...=-1/12, we can subtract one from each side:
1+1+1+1...=-13/12
then since the left side is equal to -1/12 we have
-1/12=-13/12
dividing both sides by 12:
-1=-13
and 0=-12.
So not only infinite equals -1/12 but 0 equals -12 wich prooves the inverse of 0 is 1+2+3...
it doesn't stop there
Since 0=-12 we divide both sides by -12 and we get 0=1, wich is correct so we multiply each side by n and then boom 0=n, every number is actually zero.
Do I win the cicada competition?

seems like you were joking, but since I have no idea what you are talking about, I'll assume you know what youre talking about before assuming you don't. im going to try 3300.

I was insulting it, just trying to give a good feel for why /sci/ cares. Its fun. It appeals to the imagination. the other poster was talking about "not pr0n" another puzzle that is more mundane.
If you can get this stuff done, kudos.
Good luck on your quest bruh
