During my daily interactions, I asked another Maker about implementing an enigma algorithm in the BBC Microbit. He mentioned the following link would have a challenge that when solved would take me to a page containing something that was already implemented. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/1tbvkWxx5vqQDmGnWMSLBJg/doctor-who-and-the-micro-bit-mission-decodeThat page has the reader download a .hex file into a Microbit and hold it to a screen to receive a secret message that must then be decoded using a Caesar Cipher. The decoded word is appended to a bit.ly link and a landing page with more challenges is shown. As I do not have a Microbit, I went about it a different way. In the end I could solve both challenges using only Excel (and a web page to do the Caesar for me, but could be done solely in Excel as well). The mission, should you choose to accept it, is to visit the page above and crack the message without using a Microbit. Use whatever tools you deem necessary. In the process you might learn a thing or two about technology and yourself. In order to not publish the solution where search engines will find it and spoil the challenge, we can communicate here using Enigma encrypted messages. If you want to take it easy on me, use 3 rotor machines, it takes me forever to come up with the initial settings for 4 wheel machines, maybe one day I will automate it. Good luck.

It's itching but I know I need to set a side some time to fully dig in to it and I'm not sure where I can steal the time.

Some interesting article about building your own birdfeeder (Excel hex file viewer in this case). q3k.org/birdfeeder.pdf
