Fixed.
Now that you are starting to work with multiple inscription rectangles, I want to show you something about the 340. There is a spike of period 77 cross reverse bigrams when comparing with period 15 bigrams, especially when reading LRBT.
First, however, here is a startup example. Let’s say we have multiple inscription rectangles at 6 x 15. We inscribe LRTB, Then we take the plaintext from the inscription rectangle TBLR and inscribe into a 17 x 20 rectangle LRTB. Below is the example, with pairs of three common period 1 bigrams, TH, NG, and AN. All other plaintext not shown, but with each common bigram, one of them occupies the rightmost column and leftmost column of the inscription rectangle, making it a period 74 cross reverse bigram. Redraft the message into 15 columns and highlight the bigrams, and you can see the contours of the inscription rectangles, only they are sideways.
EDITED PICTURE:
Anyway, the width x of multiple inscription rectangles can be detected by making a list of all period y bigrams where y is the predominate period. Then making a list of all other period n bigrams, but with the order of the symbols reversed. Where the two lists have a spike of common bigrams, and the n spike = ( ( x -1 ) * y ) +/- 1, that is an indication of the width of the inscription rectangle. In the above example, x = 6, y = 15, and n = 74.
( ( 6 – 1 ) * 15 ) – 1 = 74.
If we take the plaintext from the inscription rectangles above BTLR, then n would be 76. It’s just a multiple of the period + / – 1.
Here is the 340 reading LRBT, the spike at period 77, which is a multiple of 15 + 2. The x axis is the cross reverse period, and the y axis here is the count of matching bigrams when comparing to list of period 15 bigrams ( this y is different than the y discussed in above post ). The red lines show multiples of 15, and the spike is at period 77.
Below is the 340 reading LRBT, drafted into 15 columns. On left are the period 15 bigrams that have matching symbols as reversed period 77 bigrams on the right. On right are the period 77 reversed bigrams that have symbols matching the period 15 bigrams on the left.
I marked one heavy black outline so you can see. On left, there are two period 15 bigrams with symbols 51 and 36. On right, there is one period 77 bigram with symbols 36 and 51. Of course not all of the matches would be true, even if there were multiple inscription rectangles.
The hypotheses is that, based on the spike, he could have used 6 x 15 inscription rectangles, but drafted the message alternating rows LRTB. Then he took the plaintext from the inscription rectangles BTLR, creating the period 77 spike. And transcribed into a 17 x 20 rectangle LRBT. Like this.
But maybe the spike means nothing. I haven’t tried it yet. It is on my to do list.
I was messing around with the new solver a while ago. I expanded the 340 +, B and backward P ( all high count low cycle ). Then I redrafted into 19 columns, and transposed 90 degrees. Then Mirrored.

Zodiac approached them with gun drawn, and the police drew a picture of him ( not sure if published before 340 ).
Could he have described what the hood was made of, where he got the idea, or what it represented?
He was acting like he was an escaped prisoner from Montana, and wanted.
The attack occurred at dusk, at low light. Or maybe solved would be the word fight.
He hunted people and killed them dead.
The knife had a sheath.
Could he have discussed the window of the Karman Ghia?
Very interesting context with both location and period
FLOWER POWER THING
Excerpts from Wikipedia
Flower power was a slogan used during the late 1960s and early 1970s as a symbol of passive resistance and non-violence ideology. It is rooted in the opposition movement to the Vietnam War. The expression was coined by the American beat poet Allen Ginsberg in 1965 as a means to transform war protests into peaceful affirmative spectacles. Hippies embraced the symbolism by dressing in clothing with embroidered flowers and vibrant colors, wearing flowers in their hair, and distributing flowers to the public, becoming known as flower children. The term later became generalized as a modern reference to the hippie movement and the so-called counterculture of drugs, psychedelic music, psychedelic art and social permissiveness.
Flower Power originated in Berkeley, California, as a symbolic action of protest against the Vietnam War. In his November 1965 essay titled How to Make a March/Spectacle, Ginsberg advocated that protesters should be provided with "masses of flowers" to hand out to policemen, press, politicians and spectators. The use of props like flowers, toys, flags, candy and music were meant to turn anti-war rallies into a form of street theater thereby reducing the fear, anger and threat that is inherent within protests. In particular, Ginsberg wanted to counter the "specter" of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang who supported the war, equated war protesters with communists and had threatened to violently disrupt planned anti-war demonstrations at the University of California, Berkeley. Using Ginsberg’s methods, the protest received positive attention and the use of "flower power" became an integral symbol in the counterculture movement.
The iconic center of the Flower Power movement was the Haight Ashbury district in San Francisco, California. By the mid-1960s, the area, marked by the intersection of Haight and Ashbury streets, had become a focal point for psychedelic rock music. Musicians and bands like Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin all lived a short distance from the famous intersection. During the 1967 Summer of Love, thousands of hippies gathered there, popularized by hit songs such as "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)".

And there are fragments of words, sometimes all of the letters of contextual words in one row. Could this be some type of diagonal transposition, or could chunks of the message be rearranged somehow to get a solution?

Hey smokie,
First, however, here is a startup example. Let’s say we have multiple inscription rectangles at 6 x 15. We inscribe LRTB, Then we take the plaintext from the inscription rectangle TBLR and inscribe into a 17 x 20 rectangle LRTB. Below is the example, with pairs of three common period 1 bigrams, TH, NG, and AN. All other plaintext not shown, but with each common bigram, one of them occupies the rightmost column and leftmost column of the inscription rectangle, making it a period 74 cross reverse bigram. Redraft the message into 15 columns and highlight the bigrams, and you can see the contours of the inscription rectangles, only they are sideways.
I don’t understand it at all. Could you come up with a minimal please?
Here’s a 6-gram solve of your manipulated 340, it also contains "glowerpower". Ngram score is rather low though.

If you compare the 340 and the mirrored 340 and keep the symbols that are the same you get the following (top code box). The "F" symbol lines up diagonally with the "-" symbol. Most likely nothing but perhaps someone can work with it.

Here is a very minimal. Comparing the bigram symbols of the suspected period with the bigram symbols of other periods, except with the symbols in reverse, can be used to detect the width of an inscription rectangle. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t though.
I am thinking about the list of possible issues that you were talking about.
Thanks smokie,
I am thinking about the list of possible issues that you were talking about.
What list?
I am making very good progress. AZdecrypt is now about 30% faster, finds the solution faster and properly scales with systems that have more than one physical CPU. To give an illustration, my solving machine, a dual 6-core Xeon was previously doing about 15 million iterations per second and is now up to a whopping 35 million. Great news for the transposition solver.
Ideally, I’d like you to come up with a short list of what you think are the best hypotheses for the 340 (assuming transposition with its periodical bigram peaks). And create a suite of ciphers for each hypothesis. Though I don’t want to bury you with work. It would help me allot with tuning the transposition solver AND give us feedback for each hypothesis. Eventually, if there are hypotheses that remain difficult for the transposition solver then these could be looked at individually later on.
I am glad that you are making progress on your solver. I had an interesting dream about our efforts last night.

Wow; that’s an awesome improvement! Nice job. I can only imagine how much faster it would be in a virtualized environment that permits an arbitrary number of CPU cores to be assigned to it.

Such as solving the 340? Let’s hope so. I will share the progress of the transposition solver on sunday. Do you have any new ideas for the list?

I’m not exactly sure how virtualization works, if that is the kind of virtualization I think you are referring to. Is it such that you can set up a rack where each rack unit holds a bunch of CPU’s and RAM which then can be accessed as a whole through a single main computer?
At Nick’s site I came forward with some observations on the Beale ciphers for anyone who’s interested: http://ciphermysteries.com/2015/12/22/e … ent-349674
