Description: Can we build a machine that can solve any problem? How can we break a code others believe unbreakable? Why do leopards have spots and zebras stripes? These questions were all answered by Alan Turing. Mathematician James Grime explores Turing's childhood fascination with maths and how it led to the breaking of the infamous Enigma cipher. Including a demonstration of an original WWII Enigma Machine! - See more at: http://www.sciencefestival.cam.ac.uk/events/alan-turing-and-enigma-machine-limited-returns-available-door#sthash.98ApfdJB.dpuf
