[Year 12 SofDev] Algorithms v logarithms

[Robert Timmer-Arends]

Perhaps they used a Parish and Turner book of four figure tables - I don't know if 'unbreakable' is the right word for them though; more like inscrutable.

  Was laid up in hospital recently and while reading a Jason Bourne book came across this passage:

  ". . . it was still locked away, encrypted with a logarithm . . . where would a drug lord get an unbreakable logarithm like this one . . . "

  Tickled my fancy at the time !
