Consider The Number 1.2 3, How Many Combinations Are There?
Introduction
Consider the numbers 1 2 3, how many combinations are there? 1x2x3=6, so there is 6 combinations, but how about using combinations and permutations to another level? How does Permutations actually affect our lives? One different combination would result in many other results such as the phone number. Imagine if a particular person’s phone number is 92719071, if i change the 1 at the end into 4, could you still call him? Or would you call another person instead?
One time, there was a new movie that came out 1 year ago which I was really interested in, called the Imitation Game. It was a movie showing how the Enigma works during World War 2 when the British were using it to decipher the german codes. For this investigation, I would like to explain the math and also find the relationship between Combinations behind the use of the enigma machine, where it was first used by the British and was made by Arthur Scherbius. The British used it to decipher the signal traffics in Germany during World War 2. By acheving this, I would have to tell how the Enigma works, what parts …show more content…
So each message has its own secret starting position. For example, set the machine’s ground setting to abc. The operator could then pick its own secret starting position, lets say its xyz. The operator would send his own secret message in code to the reciever at the beginning of the message. The enigma machine would then be used to encode the three letters xyz. The reciever would then type xyz two times, which xyzxyz would turn into 6 letters of code, for example, JTEQFG. The reciever would then put JTEQFG at the beginning of the message. On the other side, the operator would then use the enigma machine to decode the 6 letters JTEQFG, and he would get XYZXYZ. The operator would then know it is the secret setting for the rest of the
