Thread 33635188

Does anyone know what is happening now with cicada 3301. I recently began to become interested in this topic and I want to understand whether they are still solving any problems or if everything has been solved and that’s the end of the story

The real puzzle solvers hang out on websleuths solving real cold cases, cicada lost its appeal when it turned out to just be dorks testing dorks

It is fallen ang uriel

It ended

wtf last i heard about this was on /b/ in like 2013.

Sam Hyde claimed to have met the chick behind this, wasn't she just some BU grad student?
Puzzle games are kind of retarded as tests of intelligence because you can create one problem that has millions of wrong solutions and one right solution, designing good puzzles is actually very tricky.

Fair point, and I think it's more that tech puzzles like these are dependent on experience and knowledge rather than something relatively unbiased, like a logic puzzle or Raven's matrices.

If a guy expresses dislike for a female coworker to his girlfriend, does he likely have a crush on the coworker?
