does anybody know what happened with the cicada 3301 code? Did anybody officially break it? From google it seems that a few people claimed to have completed it, but that sounds rather fishy to me. Any theory as to what its all about?

Heres the link if you're interested:

The first puzzle was posted right here on 4chan on jan/5/12, and the next one was posted on jan/5/13, so the next one might be appearing in just a couple of days. Get your puzzle faces ready, guys.

What happened with this? Hackforums is down and the wiki hasn't been updated

There was a countdown on the tor page, what happened with that? The page's source was just "refresh"

Did it just turn out to be advertising for Neuromancer? Or was that just misdirection trolling?

what became of this?

Go.

hello

/b/ has been given a puzzle.

It is either a huge trolling effort, or a nice challenge. Either way - I'll just leave it here.
