<h1>The Challenge</h1>
<p>In honour of the SC2010UK event held at Bletchley Park, we have decided to put forth a coding challenge loosely based on the historic efforts of the WWII code breakers.</p>
<p>This challenge is inspired by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenz_cipher">Lorenz cipher</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus_computer">Colossus computer</a> used by the WWII code breakers at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bletchley_park">Bletchley Park</a>.</p>
<p>There will be 5 questions you need to solve. Good Luck! Enjoy!</p>
<h2>To Access the Challenge</h2>
<p>To obtain the questions for the challenge you will need to use a JSON service to request each question. An example on how to use the JSON REST API is found here: <a href="http://gist.github.com/602853">http://gist.github.com/602853</a></p>
<p>Please note that you will need to use the 'reference-url' attribute in the JSON data to get the information needed to solve the question. Once you have sucessfully completed a question, then you will be redirected to the next question in turn.</p>
<p>If you need any help, please do not hesitate to contact us at <a href="mailto:minisculus@edendevelopment.co.uk">minisculus@edendevelopment.co.uk</a></p>
<p>You can start the challenge by requesting <a href="/start">http://minisculus.edendevelopment.co.uk/start</a>.</p>
