But the thing is for a puzzle to be entertaining, you need a reward. The reward with this one is that you don't know the reward but it seems like a hidden knowlage of some kind. People really do got obsessed with that puzzle, some of them spent year's to solve it and built communities around it. And after all of that, the reward will probably never be shown to the public, it might be just a cult trying to get people so invested in something like solving a puzzle to obeying anything in search for the next reward.

Makes sense. The less people the better concealed and devoted to the cause.

did anyone try to get public CCTV footage to see who put the signs up
mike lang they paid strangers $20 on CL.
For the second puzzle, stenography is a completely different thing. Hiding information inside another file is called steganography.
I was wondering for a while whether they got it wrong or I had been wrong for all these years xD
I think they‘re probably searching for the opposite of me.
Yeah bro same.
LEMMiNO’s Video on Cicada 3301 explains it a whole lot better.

Nice comment epic man
I personally got as far as receiving a phone number. I called the number. It was almost as if someone picked up and hung up immediately after the first ring. About 5 minutes later I started receiving cryptic text messages and automated phone calls from unidentified numbers. The first message I was assigned what appeared to be an id number and password. Phone never worked the same again and I abandoned the puzzle for fear of my own security. I tried to find information about the original number I called and according to others who have done the same thing it was traced to a random pay phone in the Mojave.... Still perplexed as to what this could all be building towards. And for anyone who believes it's the recruitment method for the collective known as anonymous, it is not. We had a group of about 70 dedicated to solving the puzzles.
You guys should check out Lemminos video on this if you want to know the whole story in detail and see a beautifully crafted TH-cam video
(edit) I am glad to see that so many of you had already heard of Lemminos video. His videos really are amazing and well researched
ya lemmino's video was way better than this
I will!
Indeed
That's why I'm came here
Yep!
The posters was put up close to airports, meaning this could have been set up by a less huge organization. Some people think they aren't even global.
They are
It’s pretty obvious what the group actually is.

Liono liony there we have our highly intelligent individual
Yes your right about them considering themselves as wolves. In cicada. Ci is the repeated pattern and ad is another. Between a and d on the keyboard is the letter s. And between c and I roughly is h. 33 is leet for ee and 0 and 1 rearranged is a p. Combine these to make the word sheep. Ha.
I mean, duh.
The fact that they made a puzzle in a puzzle in a puzzle in a puzzle and so on is amazing and they are legends 😍
Man,if you think it was hard for the players,imagine what a hard time those who made this puzzle had to put all into place.
i love how happy the "Hello." sounds
Analysis:
1. Cicada: important insect in origamy world
2. 3301: prime number, someone with math skill involve here
3. Encrypted massage: someone who has the expertise and works in daily basis with crypto
4. Many locations in the US: the home country of the circle members
5. Other locations around the world: mostly are US allies and well developed countries
6. 2012 till 2016: when the politic in the US dominated with middle lefties
7. Silent after 2016: unsolved riddle and the changing of political situation in the state.
Temporary deduction:
A bunch of US citizens who have expertise in cryptology, have huge interest in math and origamy, and work for an institution related with cyber security make this viral riddle.
Probably the members are NSA workers or former of NASA officers who move to NSA.
Purpose, to recruite a new member with like minded ideology.
Then they defeated the purpose of their belief of privacy as stated in the video the NSA has spied on people, so the NSA are probably the last people they are, unless you mean they were former NSA.

Um, explain?

At the end it's a rage comic
They might even be working for The Infographics Show 🙃
Well, you don't necessarily have to finish the puzzle to get the price tbh. It was a recruitment tool to see who would be the best their new leader in a since. Their whole team worked together to make that puzzle so 1 person can solve it. With their ideology, they are looking for a change but they don't really have all the tools they need to set the path. The few who did solve the puzzle by themselves are capable enough to do "in Cicada 3301 thought" anything they want to change the current state of the world. But for me, I have believed in this one simple fact, when any country went for their independence they had an organization with many different leaders and suppliers that have drastically different specialties. Having a one-trick pony only gets you so far until you get stomped out by somebody can do the same thing as you and more. But that my thought though, besides that I would be interested in their perceived "end game." "Infomation and knowledge are useless unless you have the will to act."

Infographic : *NO WE JUST CHEAT*
Little did we know it was the recruitment for the group only known as the infographics show
Hello i just thought about this while sleeping. And that my theory about Cicada is already finished. Meaning that Cicada stopped giving out puzzles because someone has already finished the whole puzzle. And by what the email said they cant talk about it otherwise they will be disqualified-ish since Cicada is like a group of people that have no identities and ofcourse if you gave out the outputs of the finished puzzle they cant accept you since your identity is already known. Anyways thats just a theory, A GAAAAME THEORY
not bad but how could only one person on earth out of everyone else discover the end?

It's strange how I always stumble upon a Cicada 3301 video. The time gap between the time when I last watched it and when I'm watching it now doesn't matter, it seems that the youtube algorithm doesn't want me to forget about Cicada
You were chosen...
Haha well I got the same 🤣
The animations in this video is so awesome
I am astounded by the sheer intelligence of people. Like these peeps are out here decoding complex intricate online puzzles, and I'm out here eating chips watching people drop phones...
Can we get an info video about coronavirus? Thanks for the content
Yeah that’d be great
Last two references is "tapping away in the digital forests of the night" to William Blake's poem The Tyger, "Tyger, Tyger, burning bright, in the forests of the night" and "the path they created [...] led nowhere" either refers to Corinne Roosevelt's "The Path that led Nowhere" or Aleister Crowley's "Book 6: Liber O" where he deals with what he calls "the Paths".
Am I correct?
i was waiting for this
fun fact: the 2017 puzzle is still ONGOING, they are translating a book made by CICADA 3301 called the "Liber Primus", its written in runes, even 3301 himself said "the Liber Primus is the way".
Correct me if im wrong tho.
*not part of the Cicada group and not partnered with 3301*
*This reminds me*
of the Anime _"Zankyou no Terror"_ wherein two highly intelligent Young Adults give puzzles to the Citizens of Japan and try to solve it or else buildings will explode and people might die.

03:03 I am much more concern with the arms of that guy lololololol
As a somewhat winner of the puzzles (I completed everything with my friends then we really did not think it was worth it to actually go outside lol)
I just wanna say you need to actually look at everything to solve these puzzles
From he width of the message to the words in a book
This is likely for a group of some really talented people or talented puzzle makers at the very least
don't believe that at all lol. Yes, people needed to translate and decipher the messages in Liber Primus, and use the dimensions of the first puzzle image but that's public knowledge.
Me:*Finds a Video*
Me:Cicada 3301
Me:Srsly?
I still find this so interesting
What’s funny is I was just thinking about this today, wondering what happened with this bs.
It’s not BS
Our minds are being read. I was thinking about Cicada today as well.
I believe the first recruitment attempts failed as the recruited group failed to do the task and they released new puzzles to replace the people until they either succeeded or gave up. Most likely Tor based stuff.
I'd love to see another video on were to start if you wanted to learn how to code, hack and solve these kinds of puzzles I've always been interested in stuff like this, but one of my problems is that I just don't know where to start. Anyways great vid!
Idc how many views other videos got. Infographic uploads are life.
Why’d it take you so long to make this video, seriously. I love Cicada 3301 and I love this show. Both of them is a jackpot!
Everybody gangsta until you hear the FBI at your door asking you about Cicada

Regarding the references you snuck in at that last bit of dialogue, one of them was a reference to The Tyger by William Blake, where "in the forests of the night" comes from. I think the second was a reference to "The Path That Leads Nowhere" by Corinne Roosevelt Robinson.
Im just gona write this because i don't know what to write this early
How about not talking if you don't have anything to say?
@@SerosJoker that's a great advice, you deserve a medal!

Hey I resemble that
References at the end of the video:
1. William Blake's "The Tyger": "Tyger Tyger, burning bright, in the forests of the night".
2. Reference to Carlos Castandea "The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge"

My guess is that "In the Forest of the Night" is the tenth episode of the eighth series of the British science fiction television program Doctor Who.
Ur almost Close
I'm a huge Doctor Who fan so I applaud that reference, though I'm pretty sure they were referencing "The Tygre", a poem by William Blake, since that starts out "Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;"
Lemmino did a great video on this

Sorry, but Lemmino did this already.
Doors of Perception: Aldous Huxley
The book that Crowley is holding has the Seal of Solomon on it?
The Seal of Solomon is related to Kabbalah and out of Kabbalah there was a Christian subgroup and Henrich Cornelius Agrippa expandednthe Christian Kabbalah works? (If that's a reference back to the poem of Agrippa)

Alaistair Crowley is pictured holding a book with a Star of David on the cover. That's a little unusual.
William Blake had nothing to do with the Doors of Perception.
It's a key of Solomon
Oh no, Half true. Aldous Huxley wrote the essay "The Doors of Perception". However the title was a quote from a poem by Blake.
i remember studying this for over a year and doing a presentation i carefully analysed the puzzle and did stuff like that it’s cool i recommend you check it out
Can you teach me cryptography
I love puzzles like this. Even if you are not the first one to solve it, the challenge is worth the time spent.
I did not solve it i just analysed the clues and tried to make sense of them

Instead of watching this video, watch Lemmino's video. Super high quality and suspenseful to watch. Covers all the aspects in a beautiful story.
