It generally rains a lot in the spring, and I have only had to water my lawn one time ever. Very lush green hilly terrain and lots of wildlife. Sounds…
Thanks for the hint, now it works. I have tested this method a few times, but not enough to draw further conclusions. It’s definitely interesting. The…
Sorry if I ask again: By "unique string" you mean that a string does not contain repeated symbols, right? Example: Cipher = "ABCDEFE…
I really can’t think… this heat wave is abnormal and seems to have no end. It’s not a record heat anymore, but it’s quite humid. From Friday there i…
Thank you Jarlve and Doranchak for the explanations. My idea to search for better cycles with shifts was probably not well planned and a bit thoughtl…
Hi, I implemented the scoring shown by Jarlve and did some experiments. I remembered that sometimes shifting rows or the whole cipher leads to better…
I am very skeptic towards transposition after or during substitution but maybe you can find something I have not. I agree with you in principle, afte…
As far as cycle examination goes I was able to identify the use of most cycle types in the thread: It’s hard to find an idea you or smokie didn’t ha…
Thank you for the description! I’ll implement that as soon as I find some more time. Have you ever examined the "good" but not perfect cycle…
Sequential homophonic substitution can be measured very well with statistics such as 2-symbol cycles. Without going into depth of how this 2-symbol cy…
Hi darrenc, some time ago I made such a cipher too. Jarvle quickly figured out that two alphabets were used for odd/even positions: viewtopic.php?f=…
There are different terms: Intelligent, clever, smart, sneaky, shrewd, wise, educated and many more. "Intelligent" is often used as a collec…
I don’t know how you guys do this. It’s maddening. I’m sitting up at night thinking about this stuff and can’t sleep. It’s a little addicting. I have …
To give an example why not all homophonic substitutions can be solved: Take a 340 cipher with 340 different homophones. You won’t solve it. Nor will a…
Hi Quicktrader, I think it is very important to try as many approaches to z340 as possible. I believe it is almost certain that transposition was use…
