Can you solve these brain teasers written by the NSA’s top mathematicians?

But flying somewhat underneath the radar is the National Security Agency (NSA), the famed intelligence agency that was unwittingly thrust into the spotlight following Edward Snowden's massive leak of classified NSA material. The NSA likely houses the largest group of world-class cryptographers and mathematicians than any other place in the world. Suffice it to say, if you're mathematically inclined and want to make it at the NSA, you don't just need to be good at math, you need to uniquely excel at it.
