There it also regularly publishes various tasks and puzzles for the public.
You can try playing agents and solving ciphers based on various clues
Some puzzles are really interesting and require people to think about them more deeply. Many are able to examine them for hours.
This type consists of images of cities that resemble the well-known computer game SimCity. They contain a number of elements, such as cars, people, buildings, street lighting, etc. The CIA then asks what time you think the clock in the picture shows.
