And the corners of the early internet, a mystery began unfolding in an unlikely place.

A forum discussing the band Pink Floyd.

Even before, cicada 3301 users online banded together to try to solve it, but to this

day, it still mystifies many users.

Today, we discuss perhaps the oldest internet mystery, the Publius Enigma.

This is Red Webb.

We'll get into all of that.
