To decipher the coded catcher event in history you must first correctly answer a series of trivia questions which will provide you with the correct settings on the ENIGMA machine below. For those unfamiliar with the operation of the enigma machine, a brief tutorial has been provided. [Note that all answers to these questions can be found on this web site.]
PART I - ORDER OF THE THREE WHEELS
- The number of At Bats (AB) for Smoky Burgess in 1953.
PART II - RING SETTINGS
- The number of Homeruns hit in 1959 by Sherm Lollar (left setting)
- The number of Triples hit in 1970 by Manny Sanguillen (middle setting)

PART IV - INDICATOR SETTINGS

Now that you have obtained all of the correct numbers and letters (machine settings), it is time for you to enter them into the ENIGMA MACHINE setup (by clicking on the SETTINGS tab below the machine keyboard). After you have entered each group of settings, Click On the SET button. When you enter the Stecker Pairs and click on set the machine will automatically put them in alphabetical order. After you have entered the Indicator Setting and clicked on SET, then Click On MACHINE to return to the entry of the cypher.
