The Backroom • *** SPOILER ALERT *** Mission 3
From the Briefing translated by Google Translate:
"In order to solve this is your acumen in demand. It is a tricky task… a paradox… a dilemma. Use the rolling five, one and four. Set the top positions on T, M and A. Finally, the male body as a board with the O F, P with Q, W and S, R and E with Z with I exchanged. Good luck to you Candlestick…"

Sounds like something from Cluedo...
I watch you fast asleep
All I fear means nothing
In order to solve this, you must watch very close. It is a difficult task, a paradoxon, a dilemma. Use the cylinder 5, 1 and 4. Set the starting position to T, M and A. Finally, set the board so the O is exchanged with F, P with Q, W with S, E with R and Z with I. Good luck, fool...
(I'm German and this was as fast as I could translate, so excuse bad mistakes

If you open in TextEdit, it mentions the Enigma. The text from the briefing was also German...

The keyboard picture ... looks like the T M and O (as well as J and K and E) are about the only letters in their "normal" positions.

"Use the cylinder 5, 1 and 4"
Maybe those are the settings for the rotors?

Who has a real typewriter? Maybe that'll help.

The Enigma Simulator has three different views. Apple+1, Apple+2, Apple+3
The Apple+2 view or "Steckerbrett" is where you can "set the board so the O is exchanged with F, P with Q, W with S, E with R and Z with I."

That's instructions for the Enigma machine.
#include <unistd.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
void main(){int p=ntohl(0x6E696E65);int q[]={p,ntohl(0x7479),p,0xA};write(1,&q,0x10);}
GOPHERBUGZAPPERTHEAPP is the translation (Thanks Arclite_ on IRC)
Perfect. That is to say, slightly flawed. The mark of a true gentleman.
isn't the 'starting position' when typing on a keyboard (or typewriter) with your fingers on: ASDF(left hand) JKL;(right hand) ??
i noticed in the translation it said 'starting position' and then with all the typewriter photos before the heist... just a thought... or a rabbit trail.

You need Camino or Firefox I think.

I went through those letter pairs and ended up with TOD on the upper setting at the end.
That is, I click on the O until the F lit up, then began clicking on the P until the Q lit up and so on, W to S, E to R and Z to I. Following this, the upper setting was TOD.
