LEMMiNO has a nice 18 minutes documentary and summary on Cicada 3301: [LINK] -- Some "internet lore" off the top of my head: * Body builders try to figure out how many days are in a week, summary dramatised here: [VIDEO] * Time Cube: [LINK] -- EDIT: speaking of SilvaGunner, I've never heard this name before, I found two mentions of it on two unrelated YouTube videos in the past 3 hours. Incredible. Baader–Meinhof strikes again.
Hm, if they switched the schedule up a little and had a workout every other day (with a rest day in between) they could have been working out 4-5 times per week. If anyone's unsure about the maths on that then don't worry, "you don't count the day you're on when you're counting days " ;-) [VIDEO]
