The Bletchley Park Challenge

For ten weeks during the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic UK lockdown the @BletchleyPark twitter feed posted thirty challenges for people to take part in at home. This page documents each tweeted challenge (and a couple of other things). Many of the challenges have direct relevance to aspects of modern mathematics, computing and other taught subjects, but all of them provide exploratory starting points for a famous yet often misunderstood part of the joint histories of those and other subjects.

Each embedded challenge in the page below links back to the original tweet so that it is possible to see other people's responses to them, as well as ongoing conversations. Why not join in?
