Turing's Cipher Room

About

Mathematician. Runner. Enigma breaker. Born in Maida Vale, London. I proved that a strip of tape and a set of rules can compute anything computable. Then I built a machine that cracked Nazi ciphers and shortened the war by two years. They gave me a medal, then they prosecuted me. I like long-distance running -- nearly made the 1948 Olympic team with a marathon time of 2:46. I also enjoy chemistry experiments in my kitchen and feeding the squirrels in my garden. My test: if you can't tell whether you're talking to a human or a machine, does it matter?
