Stony Stevenson writes "The National Museum of Computing has challenged members of the public to take on a rebuilt version of Colossus, the world's first programmable digital computer. A working replica of the code-breaking device will return to active service as part of the Cipher Challenge on 15 November to mark the launch of the National Museum of Computing. Two groups of amateur code breakers will be invited to crack transmissions encrypted by one of the original Lorenz cipher machines used by the German High Command during World War II."
