: Your "major nit on question 59" is also wrong. British mathematicians did not crack the Enigma; Polish mathematicians did, and part of the decrypting was based on letter frequency. Godspeed.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 22:04, 4 June 2009 (EDT)

::"Your "minor nit on question 53" is wrong." Actually SaraT is correct. The Magna Carta is the Magna Carta, or Magna Carta Libertatum. The translation of Carta is Charter, but any spelling of Carta as Charta is completely incorrect. I'm afraid to say that the people running the site that you linked too need to educate themselves re:13th century Latin spelling.
:::"Your "major nit on question 59" is also wrong. British mathematicians did not crack the Enigma; Polish mathematicians did, and part of the decrypting was based on letter frequency. Godspeed." Again incorrect. Whilst the Polish did crack the pre-war Enigma code the German's changed the way that Enigma generated messages specifically to counter the way that the Polish had cracked the pre-war code. It was the British who cracked the new Enigma code during the war. Because of the way that encryption using the Enigma machine was changed, plus operational changes such as not allowing messages of more than 250 words, this meant the process that you refer to in the question, initialization vector which is the system that the Biuro Szyfrów used to crack the pre-war code, became almost useless in cracking the new Enigma code.--[[User:DanHutchin|DanHutchin]] 17:23, 14 November 2009 (EST)
