2.12, due on November 24

• I'm not really into machinery very much. Maybe that's why I am not quite visualizing what's going on with Enigma. Although I'm not really understanding the process yet, I love the concept. I'll definitely need a review of cycles and a run-through of how the whole process works.
  
• Its amazing that Enigma was broken 30 years before anyone knew it was broken! And, how sneaky of those Englishmen to sell broken parts to people who didn't know they were broken... Enigma seems to be a fairly complicated system with rotors and a keyboard and a plugboard. But it is nice to have something physical to look at instead of having "quantum" theories floating around. It's nice to have something to touch and feel and visualize. I also really love that Enigma uses cycles. That was one of my favorite parts of Math 371. It was one of the things I understood the best. :)
