insane Alan Turing fact, what the hell
![Treasure
In the 1940s, Turing became worried about losing his savings in the event of a German invasion. In order to protect it, he bought two silver bars weighing 3,200 oz (90 kg) and worth £250 (in 2022, £8,000 adjusted for inflation, £48,000 at spot price) and buried them in a wood near Bletchley Park.[155] Upon returning to dig them up, Turing found that he was unable to break his own code describing where exactly he had hidden them. This, along with the fact that the area had been renovated, meant that he never regained the silver.[156]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:p2cp5gopk7mgjegy6wadk3ep/bafkreibkpynj3xwj4xgbagotjlebncaa7xm5tdlpvf3jc47wxttpuoqpfy "Treasure

🦋Dr. Pokemon🦋Check yourself and read these before you think you want to compete with me, I was born into this, molded for it, before there was a Wikipedia to screenshot
𝗆𝖺𝗋𝗄I would watch a movie where Nicolas Cage tries to crack Turing's code to find the lost treasure of silver

Danny2462Reading such facts at 03:30 is exactly optimal
Turing must've lost sleep too what an absolute dummy lmao
