Toa Norik: #This cache has been archived by a Swedish reviewer#

Hej koma!

För ett tag informerade vi dig om att allt inte verkade stå rätt till med din cache och bad dig då ta reda på hur det stod till, samt åtgärda eventuella problem. Då det inte syns några tecken på att du gjort det, kommer jag nu att arkivera din cache.

Jag ber dig plocka in ev. rester av din cache så att de inte ligger kvar och skräpar ner.

Hälsningar
Toa Norik, reviewer

Geocache Description:

Celebrating the Alan Turing Year 2012

For Your Eyes Only



Confidential



Top Secret



As you know the German Enigma cipher machine has been problematic for the British intelligence operations. However we recently have been able to intercept an encrypted message and also much of the needed information to decrypt it!

Alan Turing, Gordon Welchman and the other scientists at GC&CS have started the work on a code breaking machine which should be available shortly, but in the meantime you may be able to use the enclosed information to decrypt this message.

For this purpose we will give you access to a captured Enigma machine. We are not certain on how to operate the Enigma or on the validity on the data. The key we have is probably not completely correct. Turing said something about the core rotor start positions, but he did not have the time to investigate it further.

Many agents have sacrified their lives for this information, please make the best of it!


This is what we have right now:
