The Internet's Most Mysterious Puzzle
In January 2012, an anonymous user posted a simple image to the 4chan imageboard containing a message that would launch one of the internet's most elaborate and mysterious puzzles ever created, reading "Hello. We are looking for highly intelligent individuals. To find them, we have devised a test. There is a message hidden in this image. Find it, and it will lead you on the road to finding us. We look forward to meeting the few that will make it all the way through. Good luck," and this began Cicada 3301, a series of extraordinarily complex puzzles spanning cryptography, steganography, ancient languages, esoteric literature, and physical locations around the world that only a tiny number of people have successfully solved, and despite countless theories, no one knows with certainty who created these puzzles or what their ultimate purpose was, though those who solved them and were contacted by the Cicada organization report being asked questions about their beliefs and values but given no clear explanation of what organization they had been recruited for or what it does.
