I found myself remembering the adverts in woman&#x27;s magazines in the 60s <i>&quot;if u cn rd ths u cld wrk in scrtrl srvcs for $ as a shrthnd tpst&quot;</i><p>It&#x27;s kind of sad people are posting partial solutions on reddit, I liked the idea we might honour the spirit of the game, (the &quot;great game&quot;?) -But I know in reality I too used the cheat codes, read the map to zork to get to the endgame.<p>Cryptonomicon readers probably have a good mental model of one particular scene. And, people who know how Bletchley park recruited some staff in ww2<p>Really, I think this is more good PR and a reminder &quot;we exist&quot; which happens from time to time. UCL in London was next door to a clutch of offices which had massive bomb-proof steel mesh curtains, and were said to be an outpost of an agency nobody wanted to name. They litter the landscape of most capital cities.
