In that it sounds rather in the same mould as Simon Singh's book on codes,
Though for his there was £10,000 up for grabs if you got beat all ten codes. The winners cracked a RSA 512 bit key on relatively low grade hardware.
I only got as far as about Code 3 amazing what you can do with Excel.

Competition entrants today are too used to a low level of grey-matter challenge. Change the competition to read:
Whose codes were cracked by the Enigma machine?
A) The Nazis
B) Paris Hilton
C) Cheese
and then charge everyone a £1 to enter.

I am the only one who thought "Enigma was for ENcrypting not DEcrypting"?

"Run away!" ..... Any which way, AC?!. They will all lead back to the Beginning Any Way, anyway.

You needed an Engima machine to both ENcrypt your message and to DEcrypt it at the other end.
