Cipher Challenge Ticket Application

The three main prizewinning teams will be invited to a celebration lunch at Bletchley Park as part of the prizegiving ceremony on the afternoon of Friday 27th March. The afternoon will include a lecture by Marcus du Sautoy, author, broadcaster, mathematician and newly elected Professor of Understanding of Science at Oxford. Mark Urban, Newsnight editor, presenter, and author of the biography of George Scovell (on which this year's challenge was based) also hopes to be able to attend. The top ten teams on the leader board will be invited to attend the lecture and award ceremony, but we hope to have around 60 additional tickets to give out. If you would like to be considered for some of them please use the form at www.cipher.maths.soton.ac.uk/tickets.php, (ONCE IT IS LIVE - SORRY ABOUT THE DELAY WE WILL GET THIS WORKING ASAP) saying how many tickets you would like. If there are any special reasons why we should give them to you, you can say so in the "Anything we need to know" box provided! We may not be able to fulfill your request but we should be able to let you know either way in January, giving you plenty of time to arrange the trip.
