1906: Mathematician, cryptographer, and author Gordon Welchman born. During the Second World War, he will develop traffic analysis techniques for breaking German codes.
1939: Art critic and alleged supervillain The Eel helps break German military codes using surf-powered gnomon algorithm techniques.
