Re: Number of plausible keys for Z340

Yes, it is the same. The 408 at period 4 transposed or period 102 untransposed has an even more significant doublet peak. So the doublet-peak is mor…

Re: Number of plausible keys for Z340

I think that a pattern made out of letters is a very plausible explanation for how all of the patterns and statistics relate to each other, and it wou…

Re: Number of plausible keys for Z340

I’m not so sure anymore how meaningful pivots are that are created by merging symbols. Here is a small example. z340 was shifted to the right by one a…

Re: Number of plausible keys for Z340

So, how many plausible keys are there for Z340? Can we reduce the number of combinations or is it still up there around 1.xE89? That’s a very intere…
