Here’s something that’s apparently been going on for a while now that I’m just hearing about: Cicada 3301.

“The world is so full of a number of things;
I’m sure we should all be as happy as kings.”

    That story would make a good plot for a high-tech novel in which some elite cyber-intellectuals with apocalyptic beliefs lead cyber-sleuths on a chase that itself activates the ticking of a doomsday clock set to strike midnight when the last clue is solved, but each clue has a double meaning, the more hidden one being a revelation of the plot, though that, too, can be only fully understood at midnight of the doomsday — unless some clever fellow manages to see where the deeper clues are headed, which comes late in the story because the deeper clues are not initially noticed.
