Reading about this reminded me of Cicada 3301 from a few years ago. Did anyone ever find out the purpose/meaning of those puzzles?

They'd solve a bunch of random crypto / reversing problems they found online, and end up receiving invitations to interview for IC jobs. It wouldn't surprise me if Cicada were something similar, but I have nothing to base that assumption on but anecdote.
