Do you have the brains for cybersecurity? Take these tests to find out! I gave up after failing the first test.

Bletchley Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaBletchley Park was the central site for Britain's codebreakers during World War Two.
Well it's multiple choice answer right? Within about 10 - 15 seconds I guessed:
Bletchley Turing Algorithm
How I got the answers:
I spent most of the time drawing connections between the mulitiple choice answers, since there are 3 different, yet related questions. I took a 10 second look at the A=1, B=2, C=@ stuff and was like wtf? I assumed it was a red herring, discarded it and broke down the English part into:
Where was the centre of _______
The Man who designed the machine_______
By a process of elimination I crossed of firmware ( since that's a new concept that didn't exist during Turing's time, I crossed of transistor, since they were ( from what I remember ) using vacuum tube technology, which was the precursor to the electrical transistor... so I was left with Agorithm
I'm British-Canadian and my father worked on the motherboards, that went into satellites, that went into space. Circa 1983 he would disappear and come back talking about submarines. He worked on Trafalgar Class submarines for the British Ministry of Defense:

I think the test is a bit shitty because it's pro Nationalism ( Nationalism-bias ) and history-computer-cryptanalysis-military warfare biased.
If you are accepted to do A-Levels ( Advanced Level ) papers, they used psychological warfare on the tests so I mean... don't be surprised if a British test is filling your head with a bunch of meaningless shit that might be a Red Herring

I may be completely wrong about the answer since I'd rather play PARAGON and I failed Advanced Math - it doesn't interest me at all.
Huh, somehow I've been doing cybersecurity over a decade, and yet, can't remember a single time I had to decode random puzzles. I have had to decode C2, but that was by reversing the implants encraption, not by brute forcing the codes...
