which says the key space is something like 10^20 or 10^23.
A modern supercomputer does something like 10^18 FLOPS. I assume that an enigma decryption is considerably more than a single floating point operation, but presumably just a few orders of magnitude.
So... if I'm reading that right, we're talking about months, perhaps?
