The Turing Trust
A fiendish collection of 170 cryptic puzzles, inspired by the love of puzzles shared by Bletchley Park's codebreakers, including Alan Turing (1912-54). Try your hand at substitution ciphers, transposition ciphers, and cryptographic techniques. Five sections, increasing in difficulty, require you to first tease out the instructions for the problem and then attempt to unravel it. Requiring logical thinking, pattern recognition, and deductive skills, puzzlers will enjoy breaking codes and revealing hidden messages. Each section increases in difficulty. From decoded dilemmas to meta mysteries, devious and cryptic challenges are sure to make you think. With a Foreword by Sir Dermot Turing (b.1961), nephew of the eminent codebreaker Alan Turing. Includes a section of hints per puzzle in case you get stumped. Improve your puzzle solving and gain an insight into the inspirational minds of Bletchley Park’s codebreakers.
