I never did a writeup because it seemed to me that the theories may have been true that Cicada3301 was a government program to recruit talent. I didn't want to dox the guy publicly and I also didn't want to piss anyone off at a three-letter agency. This is actually the first time I've ever mentioned this in public, but so much time has passed since the program was active that I think it's probably OK at this point.
