In this episode, we discover the mystery of Cicada 3301 with Peter. Cicada 3301 all started from a post on the message board 4chan, and led Cryptographers on a chase for about a month through some of the world's most complicated and interesting puzzles, until a few managed to get to the end. Then, it returned for two more years, finally with an encoded book that is, at the time of the release of this episode, unsolved. We're sorry, the song mentioned in the episode and supposedly played in the episode did not transfer, so you cannot hear it from us. In the story, Seth arrives to help- but he is different than what we thought. Finally, we share a couple other internet puzzle mysteries.

In this episode, we round up this season with a story about a devious plot called Operation Mincemeat, some spies including a double agent, and of course, the season end things. Yes, we we have a clever ruse revolving around a man who never even existed. If you thought that this season has had boring history, we can tell you that we have made amends with these tales. The story also goes wild, and we solve the mystery of the The Evil Ant and The Secret Society and find their HQ, as well as (we hope) stopping the butterfly effect.

Today we talk about Codebreaking machines with Dan and Caw the Crow. Codebreaking machines, the stories of the giant creations used to solve other machines, namely the Enigma and the Lorenz cipher. I even make the bold statement that if it were not for some of these machines, the Enigma would not be widely known about (even to the slightest degree). And in the story, we are one step closer to the season finale (set to be dropped Jan. 29th), and we discover more in the Secret Society's HQ!
