I never did Cicada 3301 but I did make it to the end of the 2016 Wikileaks puzzle. I have no idea if Assange is in the embassy, compromised, imprisoned, dead, or living in Montana under witness protection. The whole point of those operations is usually to cast a net out and identify individuals with special minds. Every person pursuing the bait is identified and put to use. Highest priority seems to be finding blackmail, which is extremely easy in our total surveillance state. Motivations and prior brainwashing are uncovered and for some the end result is to be used as a test subject for the NWO, everything around them controlled, put under different types of stress, and data gathered. Many don't even realize they are being used.
You were compromised and brainwashed. Q plays the game too.
