IN THREE AND THREE EIGHTHS RADIANS TEN is the solution to the Zodiac Z32 cipher. Cracked by computer enthusiast David Stampher using the Python programming language. The Mt. Diablo Code was solved in December 2025.

I’m not sure if the experts realized the ciphertext triangle matches the landmark yet. That didn’t take long to figure out, as I had been looking at the cipher enough beforehand. A quick check confirmed it.
Still four months. Lost track but yeah, sitting around has been most of the post-solve experience. Not very exciting. Still I know some capable people have been looking at it. I suspect at least one of them is looking into it very deeply. And so I will be interested to hear what comes from that. I keep saying it because it is true, it has held up in that no critical errors have been identified in my method/code. No math problems, for example. No bad data.
Anyways, I found the landmark. It matches the ciphertext when overlaid. There are other things, not going to list them all. It is obvious.
Experts still scratching their head about it or something. Not sure what that is all about.
Scan the landmark.

And I don’t want to hear any non-sense when/if they find something in the landmark. I did that.

I will get the word out there. Still working on that part. Harder than expected. That’s ok.
