Claim
Cicada 3301 used cryptography, literature, and real-world clues to recruit or test solvers. The puzzle existed. The larger meaning people attach to it still outpaces what is proven. It flatters intelligence while refusing closure. Every serious internet mystery now gets measured against this one.
