Do you love solving problems? The School of Mathematical Sciences Presents:
Tinker Tailor Tourist Spy
In the lead up to WWII the British intelligence services were flooded with reports of Nazi spies and sympathisers. With war fast approaching and limited resources the task of vetting all these reports was passed to a fleeing security organisation known as BOSS. As a new recruit you are given the job of decoding the secret messages that will expose the enemy agents. It is a race against time and your country needs you.
Registration and practice rounds open 22nd October
Competition starts: 5th November
