History : 5 things you didn't know about Alan Turing
Turing built a machine called The Bombe along with fellow mathematician Gordon Welchman which could break the enigma code.
He was a British pioneering computer scientist, mathematician,
logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher, mathematical biologist, and
marathon and ultra distance runner.
He had a mug chained to the radiator in Hut 8 during his time at Bletchley Park to stop others from using it.
Steve Jobs wished the Apple logo was a homage to Turing.
Turing almost qualified for the 1948 Olympic marathon.
