In line with earlier rounds, this image contained a steganographically hidden message recoverable using the program outguess. Note that an "order and a value" seems to be a reference to Crowley, who mentioned finding an "order and value" of the English language in the Liber AL vel Legis book previously used by 3301.Ī tool for gematria summing is CyberChef, which does gematria sum of individual words. On January 6th, the Twitter account used by Cicada in 2013s puzzle was re-examined after being inactive for about a year, it suddnely tweeted a link to an image on imgur. more sentences than you would expect in the solved pages gematria sum to prime numbers.one of the solved pages contains words in runes within a square of numbers gematria summing the words completes a magic square.Keen-eyed codebreakers pointed out the incongruous positioning of the words 'out' and 'guess' within the duck's accompanying message.

Interconnectedness: 772 (not prime, but 277 is, which is the song's length in seconds) Cicada 3301 spills out into the real world YouTube/LEMMiNO That the duck image was a dead end or decoy proved itself to be, well, a decoy. Outguess Outguess is a steganography tools that allows a user to embedd hidden data inside of a JPEG-image file (and some other image formats).

They are in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha, a along with smaller jumping bugs such as leafhoppers and froghoppers. A skinny 15-year-old brainiac with wire-frame glasses and wavy brown hair, he was the eldest of five, home-schooled by their mother, a devout Catholic, near Roanoke, Virginia. The Instar Emergence: 761 (reflected in the song's file name of 761.mp3, and in the song's length of 167 seconds) Cicada The cicadas ( / skdz, - ke -/) are a superfamily, the Cicadoidea, of insects in the order Hemiptera (true bugs).3301 has used this gematria sum previously, notably in the count command from the onion terminal and with certain phrases throughout the puzzles. This is simply adding the value of each rune - what we call gematria sum. A common theory is that 3301 found a prime number-length alphabet and decided to turn that into their alphabet.ģ301's inclusion of a value for each rune allows for a function to assign a number to any word. Since Gematria Primus is nearly identical to the poem, it seems to be based off of it. The Gematria Primus alphabet is similar to many old futhorc rune alphabets, but is most similar to an old rune poem. The runes themselves are the focal point of the current step, Liber Primus. Always verify PGP signature from 7A35090F.

Gematria Primus, found during the 2013 puzzle, is an alphabet with 29 runes, each with an English equivalent and a numerical value, The numerical values are consecutive prime numbers in ascending order. Outguessing the Gematria Primus file resulted in a bunch of tabs and spaces, which were converted into ASCII to reveal the next step. XORing the 2013 twitter information with 761.mp3 (The Instar Emergence) resulted in Gematria Primus.
