Fun Online Polls: Odd-one out round & Xmas cards

The results to last week's Fun Online Poll were as follows:

Odd-one out round

Tunny - 23%
Tommy Flowers - 23%
Alan Turing - 21%
Ralph Tester - 17%
Bill Tutte - 9%
John Tiltman - 7%


Tunny was correct, as everybody else on the list was a human being who worked at Bletchley Park in the Second World War. Whose name started with "T".

Tunny was their name for a particularly spiteful German code, although that also began with "T".

Votes for Turing on the basis that he was the only one you'd ever heard of don't count.
