I’m interested in how these results compare with other common layouts, like "AZERTY" used in Belgium and France, "QWERTZ" used in …
Thanks much. You’re very welcome. That 1.3% is small enough to be very interesting for me and some others but probably not quite small enough to be …
Does your study include exclusivity? That’s a very good point. I did not consider that aspect. I just modified my algorithm to only consider clusters…
Good points. I was really just thinking out loud. I didn’t expect to find that grouping and didn’t expect that so many letters seem to get tagged an…
Here’s a cipher I had created in an older thread on polyphones (http://www.zodiackillersite.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=261) : O9PP5o97W`flWZ8O…
ZKDecrypto found a weak solve to the 408plusover after 17 minutes on my i5. Score 32066, quite readable actually. But it is only a 53 symbol cipher. U…
I was including diagonals that I considered to be 1-step, such as R-F, G-Y. Not diagonals that I was not considering as 1-step diagonals such as R-G. …
Perhaps you could do calculations, one with 13 as adjacents and one with 12 (excluding the H-M). That would probably be the best approach to remove ou…
So by a quick and rough count we have at least 13 instances where the letters are right next to each other. I am open to discussion and debate if anyo…
There are only 10 directly adjacent matches. The additional 3 you are counting are not directly adjacent but are measurably closer than 2 steps; they …
6.8% of random keys will exhibit an equal or higher number of symbols adjacent within 1 step of their plaintext letter compared to the z408 key: …
and to inspire others to do same Well, you inspire me to keep going and not give up on this thing. Great job on your work so far! I still haven’t tri…
How do you guys consider the distances? For example, From X to X is 0. From X to Z,S,D,C is 1. From X to A,W,E,R,F,V is 2. Correct? Exactly. That’s ho…
More specifically, our simulations do completely agree on the macro scale. That’s a great start. It means we essentially agree on the data set and the…
I programmatically simulated a random assignment of typewriter symbols for each of the plaintext letters you have identified in your initial exercice….
