Just wondered if anyone's doing, or done, The Turing Challenge?

https://www.gchq.gov.uk/information/turing-challenge

It's a series of 12 puzzles, each progressively more difficult, to celebrate Alan Turing appearing on the new £50 bank note. I've done the first 6 puzzles but am currently bemused by what's required from the 7th.

I'd be very grateful if anyone could give me a bit of a nudge, but no spoilers please.

Thanks

You are looking for a synonym for "supervisory"

Focus on the end of each line in verse 2

Thanks, tatters (and thanks for this week's Listener too).

I'd actually noticed those endings but couldn't make a leap beyond them. In fact, I thought it might just be coincidence. Cheers.

I sailed through the first 2 puzzles but couldn't see what to so on Puzzle 3

For number 3, do the 7 sequences mean anything?

It looks to me as if you are tracing letters on one or the other of the two banknotes.

For those who have given up but are interested in seeing the solution, Mark Goodliffe has posted a video explaining the whole thing.
