If cows did that, then they are the Zodiac, and created the Z32 cipher.

If not, then the Zodiac created it. The most plausible explanation.

Next it will be pranksters that reverse engineered Z32 long ago and put this triangle there to fool me decades later.

Perhaps a former NSA cryptographer will see this some day and chat about the cipher with me.  I know many tried before.  Just because they weren’t able to, doesn’t mean someone else can’t.  I hope my work proves that.  That would be golden.

Working solo was way harder.  No team was brutal.  But I am still here.

Working solo was probably the only realistic option post 2021 though.  Many consider the cipher impossible to solve due to it’s short length, and so finding any ally to attempt an allegedly impossible cipher that probably leads nowhere wasn’t going to happen. I did pretty good by myself anyways.  The power is in the method, and so it doesn’t require a team of people.  Just the right method.

I was the one of the few crazy guys to try, and hey, I found a big landmark.  

Also didn’t need a supercomputer.  Search space is small enough.  No radians and inches hint, no solution.  Why be so obvious?  Because he wanted it solved.  And here we are in 2026.

Also to the person I said the f word too, sorry about that.  Cow theory is now a trigger.

Like I said I am patient person, 4 months deep.  Difficult to express, The landmark isn’t moving.  If they check it tomorrow, great.  A year, fine by me.  Never?  Well, their call.  I did my job already.

I will be vindicated if it is looked into.  And wonder why it took so long.  And I can say, early unexplained resistance from grifting forum admins, reddit mods with a bias based on account age and “karma”, and people that believe cows/ranchers construct landmarks for fun(?) like the one in my profile picture.

Yikes.

Both the worst and best part.  I try to find the humor in it.

While he was talking about Dahlia, I was talking about this.  The Dahlia lie has already faded away I think/hope.  The landmark remains.

At least he didn’t try to tell me the cows did it like @shaqmeister

He went the quiet route.  Could have joined the party.  Distracted by a shinier object, in his mind.  Then just silences the guy that found the landmark.  Obvious power trip.  He holds no power in the larger internet domain, just his tiny castle.  He bought a domain a long time ago because he took the opportunity.  I solved this cipher in late 2025 because I took the opportunity.  One is harder than the other.  

Essentially it discourages it from being checked out.  Wrong move.  See my profile picture.  Run the code.  Check the map.

I already saw enough about that guy after the fact, so I see what is going on there.  I am not the only one that was unfortunately crossed paths.  I am sure he has seen many terrible proposed Z32 solutions in the past, this isn’t one of them.  *points at landmark by LHR*

Also feedback to the authoritarian forum admin that silenced my work, sending constant PM’s demanding money is not the right way to monetize your forums.  Unlike you, I’ve made 0 dollars on the Zodiac case.

And to be clear, while I have grown pissed, for lack of a better term, I initially approached this very kindly I think.  Disagreements were calm and productively discussed.

During my short time working on Z13 after the fact, which I have abandoned, I shared the publicly available Vallejo 68-69 city directory, which I obtained and transformed into structured data for proper analysis.  This was given away freely since I had it sitting around, and was well received.  People seemed to really appreciate that contribution, and I was glad to give that away in addition to my Z32 proposed solution.

I ditched it because I didn’t want to put a name out there.  I found an interesting one, but said nope and won’t be returning to Z13.  I don’t think others should either.  

Not really sure what the derailments have been about, but it is what it is.  I’m still feeling good about it as we enter April.  

Collaboration was the hope, but not the reality.  But what I found is still there, and perhaps the right people will take it seriously.  The sample size has been so small, but that is because I took the wrong distribution path.  Learning as I go.

Thankful to pleasant people I interacted with pre-ban.  I will always keep them in mind to maintain a balanced perspective.

I also don’t think people should continue to point at houses and graveyards with Z32.  If my proposed solution ends that trend, massive win for truth.

And yeah sitting around waiting has been really anxiety inducing, that is for sure.  I feel that but I’m still locked in until it is complete and resolved.  A bit of meditation and I will get my focus back and hopefully break through the wall.

Also I don’t ask for sympathy, I am just calling out the bull shit.

Such as the bull shit where @DMW says IN THREE AND THREE EIGHTHS RADIANS TEN points to a suspects house.

Wrong.

Bad and wrong.

Glad I can come here years later to say that.
