The ‘Can You Find It?’ competition is being run on behalf of GCHQ by resourcing specialist TMP Worldwide and will challenge both experienced and self-taught techies to crack a series of cryptic codes.

They will take you on a cyber treasure hunt by giving a series of clues, leading you to a number of different places around the world-wide web which will ultimately unlock the final answer.

The complex codes have been created by a GCHQ team of top mathematicians. They set a high bar for recruiting curious, tenacious and creative candidates who have the intellectual ability, though not necessarily the practical experience or qualifications, to join GCHQ and support the Government’s national cyber security agenda.

Lots of news articles about this, apparently after the code there is this part:

Correct solutions then lead the applicant to an online "treasure hunt" which hopefuls have six weeks to complete.
The unorthodox test is designed to find only the sharpest maths whizzes and puzzle-solvers for a number of new positions available at the cyber-spy agency, based in Cheltenham.

Hi All,

I just wanted to let everyone know, that this competition is in the press. According to the Metro, there could also be a job on offer to the code breaker/winner. I have to stress *could* This is what I call serious comping!

It is one of the puzzles in an online competition to recruit Britain's most skilled mathematicians, code breakers and hackers.

The Can You Find It? competition is designed to test both experienced and self-taught techies to crack a series of cryptic codes.

An online treasure hunt provides a series of clues, leading to a number of different places around the world-wide web which will ultimately unlock the final answer.

The complex codes were created by a GCHQ team of top mathematicians.

The spy bosses said they wanted curious, tenacious and creative candidates who have the intellectual ability, though not necessarily the practical experience or qualifications, to join GCHQ and support the Government's national cyber security agenda.

The salary is up to £60,000 and provides the chance to work in partnership with the Security Service (MI5) and Secret intelligence Service (MI6).

Winners could be following in the prestigious footsteps of computer pioneer Alan Turing who during the Second World War helped lead the efforts at Bletchley Park to provide vital intelligence for the Allies by deciphering the messages encrypted by the German Enigma machine.

GCHQ's head of resourcing, Jane Jones, said: "The 21st century is confronting us with online threats that are difficult and dangerous, so we want employees who have evolved with the ever-changing digital world and therefore have the right skills to combat these challenges.

"It's a puzzle but it's also a serious test - the jobs on offer here are vital to protecting national security."
