I don't think this is any intel agency. It smells like Google.

It's supposedly Anonymous. See the "What Happened" threads and "The Leaked Email"...

Why would it be Google or even an intel agency?

Both intel agencies and Google have been known to use unusual puzzles in their recruiting process.

Is anyone on here trying to solve this? If so, is the difficulty similar to how the writer describes?

This seems like an elaborate recruiting tool to me. Google and Microsoft come to mind, but it could be a security firm or agency too.
