Can you red pill me on Cicada 3301?
Who are they?
What happened to the persons that were able to complete their puzzles?
No-one was able to solve the puzzle because they were designed to unsolvable. The whole things was created by a group of pretentious art students trying to make some free ad rev off conspiracy tards.

what about the Joel Eriksson guy?
>"It was quite disappointing," Eriksson says. "Especially considering that the people who registered in time were mostly ones that had not actually solved much of the puzzles themselves. People were sharing solutions and collaborating a bit too much."
What he means with "registered in time"?
Consider lurking moar, newfriend.

Still on-going.
Cicada wanted to recruit intellectual people so they designed a special puzzle to attract them.
However, puzzle-decoding=/= difficulty. Just an illusion of difficulty because it takes much of your time.
Their puzzles revolve religion/Occult/astrophysics/literature/etc.

It's like,
Prove you're committed to a cause by solving mostly irrelevant puzzles in the hopes of one day contributing to decisions that will determine the general direction of humanity, yeah.
Here's a moth, which we have placed over the currently surfaced portions of our tectonic plates, and then associated completely irregular means of determining associated value with the linework therein, so if you can stroke our ego long enough, we'll eventually just cum all over you, and you can reap the rewards of our baby goo.
Cool story, this.

3301 never was for the final reward.
Have you ever heard "En route to Ithaki,wish that you have a long road"
It's pretty much like the path of divinity. Even their mascot isn't random. The people behind it are actual geniuses tired of swimming in a sea of mediocrity. I've actually known about most of the texts/art they were referencing from Agrippa to Dali.

Baphomet is the Anunnaki Ningishzidda, the Son of Ea Enki.
This is why George Washington is depicted like him, they are trying to Deify him as one of the gods.
Because America is the New Babylon, and the Old Babylon was ran by another Son of Enki, known as Marduk.
The puzzles are not intelligent and not difficult. They are more like an unintelligent person's idea of difficulty.
Just like name dropping is what the unintelligent people consider to be intelligence.
Cicada 3301? dropped straight into the trash and /x/ would benefit from banning these threads

So, how much of it did you solve then?
>>17259668
None, I'm also a fucking idiot, but at least I tried.

>Agrippa von Nettesheim?
Just started digging last year so i couldn't see most of the earlier puzzles.
