Having just re-re-read my good friend Wikipaedia's article on this,
I'm still not sure exactly what Turing is proposing. It looks like
what you said - that both a man and a computer tries to fool the
judge that they're a woman! Which is bizarre, but so are cyanide
coated apples if one can believe that.
It's not so bizarre in context. Shortly before, Turing had visited
Godel and Godel had taken him to Godel's favorite movie, the Disney
version of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs".
I tend to believe Turing's mother. According to her, it was an
accident, not a suicide. She said that he wa cheerful, happy and never
complained on his happening. But he did a lot of chemistry, and
sometimes did show some amounts of lack of cautiousness with his
products. he might just have forgotten to clean his hands before
eating an apple. I don't know the truth, but her mother's book, and
paper by Coppeland, have thrown a doubt on the "official story".
