Interesting article, makes sense that intelligence agency would use that sort of thing to recruit!

As these hackers got more and more into it, the CIA and NSA were tracking them more and more carefully. If the two organizations were doing something covertly, what better way to distract the best hackers by releasing a puzzle for them to waste time on.

Great find Dalek Dave, would love to have seen +Fravia's attempt. Though sadly, that wont happen.
It reminds me of a similar challenge I tried years ago. Think I got as far as about 6 or 7 steps out of the 30. I'll have to see if I can find a link to it, if indeed the pages are still online.
EDIT: Found it and it's still active!
Try this on for size people: "The hardest riddle on the Internet"[^] (I got emailed a link to it in 2008, not sure how old it was then)
Thanks for the fascinating read.

Fascinating, thanks, Dave !
"What Turing gave us for the first time (and without Turing you just couldn't do any of this) is he gave us a way of thinking about and taking seriously and thinking in a disciplined way about phenomena that have, as I like to say, trillions of moving parts.
Until the late 20th century, nobody knew how to take seriously a machine with a trillion moving parts. It's just mind-boggling." Daniel C. Dennett

I'm more intrigued by the links in the 'More from Telegraph' section at the bottom of the article.

There is a new exhibition opening tonight at then Hungarian Cultural Centre in Covent Garden about The Match Of The Century[^]. It was the first time England lost at Wembley, going down 3-6 to the Mighty Magyars. A few months later Hungary beat them 7-1 in Budapest; still England's heaviest defeat.
I thought only the Hungarians had any interest in this anniversary, but even Aunty has a piece[^].

"Gold woven into the fabric of books can be wretched"(10)
Not hard at all, so I expect it solved quickly.
---------------------------------
Obscurum per obscurius.
Ad astra per alas porci.
Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur .

Each of those words makes perfect sense.
In combination, however...

Gold woven into the fabric = LAME
books = NT
can = ABLE
LAMENTABLE = wretched
