Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 25th June, 2018.

25th June, 2018


Yep, that’s right … I’ve got my laundry going in the background.

Because?

I worked yesterday: which is my usual laundry day.

So, right now?   I’ve got my pants on the go.

Which is possibly too much information, but there you go.

Frankly?

My only hope is that my pants are dry by the time I need them.

Something else I mentioned, over the weekend?

Was the Bombe: the device invented by Alan Turing, and used Bletchley Park to decode German Enigma traffic during World War Two.

The rotors on it?   Moved: while they were working out the start position of the rotors on the Enigmas, stopped when they’d got an answer … and ticked whilst working.   

They stopped ticking, they’d — metaphorically — exploded.


I’ve only seen one, once: on my last visit to the Museum, there.

According to this report?

The replica Bombe at Bletchley Park has now been moved, next door: to the National Museum of Computing.

I’d love to see it, there.
