   interesting, YouTube channel Veritasium just published a video on how Enigma was broken during WWII. at the very end they also give message that has yet to be decoded, although apparently they're different.

      WRT the timing, Veritasium maybe looked at the last few weeks and decided there&#x27;s a fast-closing window in which to report on any famous messages yet to be solved.

         It is a private equity channel, so this is surely the reason. They have a team whose job is finding the most engaging content topics.

            is that really true, they are a private equity owned channel? But also, finding the most engaging topics is something most media does.
