Alan Turing Google congratulated with interactive Doodle 100th

With an interactive Google Doodle honouring the founders of artificial intelligence, Alan Turing. The early computer genius would have turned 100 years old.

He scales as a puzzle game on Google. They should not just be ignorant to crack. It is rather a kind of intelligence test. Pressing the green button will start the game. The goal is to “Google to fill "letters with colours, by simulating a binary number code.


Google encrypted letters

"Therefore you have the series using certain methods to program 'so that it matches the end," explains how the site tagseoblog.de that takes a close look at each doodle. "Then the machine will check the numbers. If it matches, a letter will be coloured and the next problem appears. " The binary codes, the rebuild of the players in this way must also encrypt the "Google" letters g, o, l and e


Pioneering work as a young researcher

The honoured in this way, Turing was born on 23 June 1912 in London, was born. At the age of 24 he wrote the seminal work "On Computable Numbers with an Application to the, decision problem '," in which he deals with the encoding of numbers and letters using codes. During the Second World War, the scientists developed a method to crack the Enigma codes of the Nazis and to thus define the positions of German submarines. Turing also invented the eponymous "Turing test", which lets you check the "intelligence" of machines. The pioneer was seen as humorous and sensitive man. He stumbled into a crisis because he was not allowed to live out his homosexuality openly. "He was faced with serious problems, because homosexuality was a taboo not only in England, but a crime," writes biographer Andrew Hodges, Turing. After being treated with hormones, Turing was probably 41 years committed suicide.


The Turing machine - the spiritual mother of the PC

"The whole field of computer science, algorithms - was in all these areas Turing groundbreaking," says Jochen Viehoff from the Heinz Nixdorf Museums Forum (HNF) in Paderborn. Here goes - on the occasion of the 2012 Turing - since January, the exhibition "Brilliant & Secret - Alan Turing in 10 stages." As at 16 December, the museum shows the life and work of computer pioneer.
