I did an image search, this seems to be the original… EDIT: I also searched that address in Indiana, and came up with this:
When the Hardens solved the cipher, it became clear what order was correct. As well, there are now numerous computerized solvers that can solve it – …
Just to add to this, the "+" symbol has also been treated as a wildcard symbol, and also pretty extensively tested, with no promising result…
Please post your example cipher if you would. In numeric form if possible, sometimes the board can mess up text ciphers. If you can only post it as t…
User3000- Your post is simply wrong in almost every single respect. If one is creating a cipher, and "creating new symbols" then how, exac…
Well, that Kopal paper certainly gives short shrift to ZKDecrypto. I found it easily solved that example cipher in 18 seconds. As well, ZKD is fully…
Jarlve- Although no-one has touched ZKDecrypto in years, I ran it on this cipher challenge, just as a test. And after a few runs, I kept finding the…
Those ciphers are all available on doranchak’s page here:
I just tried this out, and ZKD got pretty close, in my opinion. I bet Jarlve’s AZDecrypt, which is much better, would get an even better solve. This…
QT- Assuming you are still trying to solve the 340 as a normal homophonic cipher – it’s not – I ran the string you named (TONESSIIMPOSEEARTHISSHAPEAE…
