Bletchley Park Brainteasers: Over 100 Puzzles, Riddles, and Enigmas Inspired by the Greatest Minds of World War II - Softcover
Synopsis
Have a knack for mastering Morse code? Want to discover whether your crossword hobby might have seen you recruited into the history books? Do you think you could have outsmarted the Nazi's enigma machine? Bletchley Park was the top-secret home of British World War II codebreakers. If you're a history buff or a fan of the New York Timescrossword puzzle, this is the book for you.
When scouring the land for high-level codebreakers, the Bletchley Park recruiters left no stone unturned. As well as approaching the country's finest mathematicians, they cast their nets much wider, interviewing music students who could read orchestral scores, chess masters, poets, linguists, hieroglyphics experts, and high-society debutantes fresh from finishing school. To assess these individuals, they devised various ingenious mind-twisters--hidden codes, cryptic crosswords, secret languages, and complex riddles. These puzzles, together with the fascinating recruitment stories that surround them, that make up the backbone of this book, endorsed by Bletchley Park itself.
The codebreakers of Bletchley Park were united in their love of a good puzzle. If you feel the same, why not dive in, put your mental agility to the test, and discover: Would Bletchley Park have recruited YOU?
