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.

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.
Timo legit
yep, highly recommend.
Totally recommend that video
Thank you! I was looking for this comment to make sure I didn’t have to make my own lol
this is very true
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.
At the end, if you are of impure heart you get rickrolled.
If your heart is pure, then the Krabby Patty recipe shall show itself to you.
Thx
Nice comment epic man
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
You guys should check out Lemminos video on this if you want to know the whole story in detail and see a beautifully crafted RUclips 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!
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.
It’s pretty obvious what the group actually is.
Space werewolves from the future.
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 😍
i love how happy the "Hello." sounds
Yeah so we know who the mysterious organization is but we can't tell you who they are
tell me or you don't know
Mm hmm.
Yeah, so you're not the FBI, you didn't even include grammar at the beginning of your sentence, "Yeah, so", and your attempt at a verified checkmark is funny.

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.
all you have to do is create something with Cicada's IP and see who sues you for infringement. lol
one of the references is " It remains unsolved" which is the staple dialogue of BuzzFeed unsolved series.
"Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?"

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...
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."

I love how basically every hacker group who DO HAVE THE POWER to bring things and the internet to rubble and make it infinitely better. But they never do
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 🤣
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?
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*
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!
Idc how many views other videos got. Infographic uploads are life.
1:28 my guy thinks hes google translate lol
YES!!! I have been waiting for this!
Imagine it being a university project by a bunch of students
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?
The animations in this video is so awesome
2:05 - 🤦 It wasn't stenography, it was _steganography_ as in hiding information within something else.
Let's see if this video is taken down and fixed or kept up with the massive error… 🤔
ok nerd
@@YSRTheWave he's got a point there, jim
It’s only a minor difference. It’s not like anyone cares about factual inaccuracies, right?
@@TheFinalMB 1 typo can ruin your life
Glitchstery that indeed it can, especially when you have to animate and research it aswell

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.

Arman Yusaf *_WELL WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT_*
XeonGame3k
BAHAHA
yup he did
ive seen multiple videos on this but i still came because i wanted to hear you commentate it, you honestly do it the best
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.
I remember seeing this in a Lemmino video. For a second I thought RUclips had recommended it to me again 😂
Can you do a video on the virus in China? I would like to know more about it and what’s going on.
Wished granted. He did made it. Corona virus
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!
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 KNOW WHO CICADA 3301 ARE!!!
The topics of this video😎
Can we get an info video about coronavirus? Thanks for the content
Yeah that’d be great
i was waiting for this
What was the point of finding out who these people are? And if they don’t advertise then how did people see the test?
Because it’s fun
you don't have to advertise something for it to be seen.
do you see lamborghini ads?
@@blakeholland1562 ya cause they don't believe in advertising there brand value is enough for anyone to buy there car.

*"i understood that reference."*
Enzo Dapan what was it
@@christophermeaney3050 Fight Club. A memetic line from that movie is "The first rule of Fight Xlub: You don't talk about Fight Club."
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.
This must be the work of the Organization.
Too bad Riddler didnt make this.
Could this be the will of Steins;gate?
@@thadboy3267 El psy congroo!
I think the first reference was Doctor Who: season 8, episode 10:In the forest of the night
?
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;"
Instead of watching this video, watch Lemmino's video. Super high quality and suspenseful to watch. Covers all the aspects in a beautiful story.
One of the references was the Krabby Patty formula and I can't believe you just leaked it out into plain sight
Hey I resemble that
This seems like a great idea for a movie
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
Fractured Frame no
J Y Exactly
Imagine in the end it just tells you to get a life and you get nothing but a paper that says this
Maby the qr code at the end of the vid and the sound as the wird lag efect happend
"hello we are looking for highly intelligent individuals"
Entire American school system: >:o
"Keep watching for the answers" then doesn't answer any of the proposed questions...
The last part, one of the references is it remains unsolved like BuzzFeed says
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)
The mask on all the characters representing the Cicada individuals is symbolic of Guy Fawkes (Also in modern times Anonymous)
Man that's one big web! The references are much simpler
@@rohitvijayan5548 lol probably but it's fun to try to find all the "Waldos", so to speak XD
@@TheIconicHati agree :)
So what your saying is anonymous is behind it actually holds some truth when they said we have no name an no symbol just like anonymous
@@bradleywinnell1524 No, just pointing out the mask being a Guy Fawkes mask. But you did cleverly identify the similarities in ideology with privacy, anonymity, and anti-corp. So nice! :D. I was just like. "I know that mask..."

Sike ! Pranked ! Gotem !
Shhhhhh don’t tell them that
Sorry, but Lemmino did this already.

The Cicada will *stay underground* for 2 to 17 years depending on the species. *Cicadas are active underground, tunnelling, and feeding, and or hibernating as commonly thought* . After the long 2 to 17 years, cicadas emerge from the ground as nymphs.
