Complicated puzzles full of red herrings, medieval European literature references, music... this sounds like the work of 1057.


For those confused, he means 1o57 - he created the DEFCON mystery challenge and usually is involved in the badge contest.


This is actually what I was thinking since a lot of the same motifs are used. Obscure literature quotes, cryptography, mythology and red herrings.

wouldn't be surprised if it was revealed he was working on cahoots with whatever person or organization is running this. With stuff happening all around the world, you'd expect some intern or low level employee would spill the beans sooner or later. I'm surprised nothing has really be released yet on who or what is running this.


Didn't see you post and posted the same thing! Yea, this fits pretty solidly...
