	By trial and error he cracked the Enigma - Obituaries - www.smh.com.au
		As a mathematician at Britain's Bletchley Park wartime code-breaking centre, Peter Twinn, who has died aged 88, was the first of the Allies to open a signal encoded by a German Enigma machine.
		Through trial and error, Twinn experimentally assumed the first circuit board did not substitute another letter for the letter that had been typed, though the wheels and the final circuit board both did so.
		Twinn was born in Streatham, south London, the son of a post office administrator.

	Random Pensées: Some Fascinating Passings: R.I.P.
		It was later pointed out to Twinn that this was the first time that any Wehrmacht Enigma cipher was broken in Britain, but he dismissed it as of no consequence: "It was a trifling exercise, but I repeat for the umpteenth time, no credit to me."
		On one occasion, while attempting to collect click beetles at the edge of the Farnborough runway, he was arrested by an MoD police officer who was highly embarrassed to discover that his prisoner was in fact the RAE Secretary.
		In 1999 Twinn published, with PT Harding, a study of the distribution of the longhorn beetle, A Provisional Atlas of the Longhorn Beetle (Coleoptera Cerambycidae) of Britain; it records the present and past distribution of 63 species and is to be found on the desks of many entomologists.

	[wordup] Key to breaking Enigma was in the patent?
		British codebreakers had made a good deal of progress in breaking the military version but were held up because they could not work out the order in which the typewriter keys were wired into the internal circuits.
		This was the same as in the diagram attached to the patent application but was so obvious that the codebreakers never even considered it as a possibility.
		Six months later, codebreakers made their first break into Enigma, something they could have done far earlier if they had only tried the alphabetical system in the patent application."It was such an obvious thing to do, really a silly thing to do, that nobody ever thought it worthwhile trying it," said Mr Twinn.
