British intelligence and security agency’s brain teasing puzzle stumps readers

HUNDREDS of thousands of people have tried to crack this brain- teasing puzzle from an intelligence and security agency, but no one has done it yet.

The puzzle was put out with the UK’s Government Communications Headquarters’ (GCHQ) traditional Christmas card to staff.

GCHQ is a security and intelligence organisation tasked by the Government to protect the UK from threats and works closely with MI5, and the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6). They also have relationships with many other government departments and agencies.

The first stage of the puzzle has been online for anyone to solve since December last year, and contains a grid-shading puzzle with instructions on how to complete it.

Once all stages have been unlocked and completed successfully, players were encouraged to submit their answer via a given GCHQ email address by January 31, 2016.
