The eighth iteration had almost the same results and I decided to end the test and start another project on my solve machine.

O.k. let me know if you need anything. I have been taking things very slow this week while contemplating my next project.

Well done so far doranchak, how did you go about it?

I cheated.

Smokie identified which of your expanded symbols were correct (six of them so far). I combined that information with all his posts regarding which of your plaintext positions were correct. Then in zkdecrypto, I loaded the ciphertext with the six symbols expanded, and locked all the positions corresponding to the correct plaintext, and let zkdecrypto explore the rest of the key.

At this point, I think an exhaustive search is within reach (all selections of the two remaining polyalphabetic symbols). But it is not a good test, since it relies on cheating!

Without cheating, it is so easy for hillclimbers to get stuck in local optima since the multiplicity gets so high. I am wondering if a more sophisticated language model (such as markov chain or expectation maximization) would be more effective than simple ngram models.

Do you guys want the key and the solution?
