SZ40, 8th Problem

Station X                        November 17, 1943,

 

Hello,

 

We intercepted a message on the Chub link. I think

you can decipher it by hand with our statistical
methods. Indeed, our Colossus machine is still under
construction and will be operational not before a month.

 

We know the CHI wheels and we know their indicator
method. We know their positions. After the message, we
give the configuration of the wheels stalled in relation
to the start of the message (key: 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1).

 

Good luck,

 

Max Newman
