Channel 4s running a competition for the imitation game movie.

So who can crack the code?

First letter is a T and each line is a new word.

I've always found code breaking incredibly interesting(this one doesn't count).

It hardly requires a google search.

I'll have you know, they are immense, yes.

ooo, look at you

Isn't the purpose of cracking a code is to do so as quick as possible?

Took me 3 mouse clicks, 5 seconds.

I assume it may of taken you longer

It did take me longer. It may actually have taken me three whole minutes. But at least I have the satisfaction of knowing I worked it out for myself.

Seriously though, it's just a Caesar 3 shift. Except not 3. It's a different number for each line.

The only part that held me up was working out why shifting the second line one letter didn't make sense (I thought it was an anagram ).

Does anyone have any nice code challenges?

Yes, defeats the whole idea as you have the machine settings but lets see who works that out here even with that for fun

manchester uni has a similar competition.

They look more fun. 3 is easy (with certain online tools). I have no clue about the other two just yet. 1 could be the same as the above code. 2 I've got no bloody idea I don't even recognise the symbols.

supposed to be one of the hardest codes to crack
