Meet The Man Who Solved The Mysterious Cicada 3301 Puzzle
Years back when I was going to university, I had a part time job as a tutor teaching Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics to student athletes. One of my colleagues was studying pure mathematics. When I asked her what her intentions were after university, she had mentioned cryptography. First and only time in my life I stumbled upon someone wanting to become a cryptographer. AT any rate, this article by @justallen is a curated interview of the man who solved the Cicada 3301 puzzle. Awesome read.

Between my own writing I will keep purveying fine content.
Please follow me on my blog @lpfaust if you enjoy my content.
Wow, you continue to impress me with your great finds! Keep up the good work :)
Thanks again @timcliff for being a regular.
When I find these pieces, I a not looking for a sure thing that will garner curation rewards, they are genuine pieces that speak to me. I want these authors, which are overlooked because they would not generate substantial and regular curation rewards from bots, to continue to produce and receive some recognition rather than leave out of frustration. I suppose that's also where the impetus of my last blog came from.
It's a valuable service that you are providing, even if it is under-paid. The authors that you feature likely all get some additional upvotes, which when you are sitting at 5-10 can be a big deal. The fact you aren't doing it for curation rewards is really commendable, because those are the people that need the attention the most :)
