I'm confused regarding the score of each workunit (not talking about credits). How is it calculated and is there a perfect score etc? Browsed the site for about an hour and couldn't find it anywhere

Hi Kasper,

I am a n00b too, but I found something on the "official" M4 project website:

[...] Here the changes lie in constantly trying out new wirings of the Enigma plugboard. After each change the scoring function tests a new wiring by deciphering the message and trying to determine how closely the resulting plaintext matches the statistics of the natural language. The scoring function uses Sinkov Statistics.

Unfortunately the WIKI-article is a stub only.
