And for completeness, finally, we should probably also give some passing consideration to: where the missing numeral in the first example is one …
Turning to the alternative format ‘[numeral]RADIANS’, we find ourselves even more out of luck. Taking any one of the first ten spelled-out numerals in…
Actually, we’ve missed one here. There are, in fact, three potential candidates of the form ‘[ordinal]RADIAN’. Going back to the original example, we …
The appealing feature of both of these candidate forms is the weight each now gives to the author’s decision to give us the ciphertext pairing ‘O…O’…
As we are here already, we may as well finish up the remainder of potential examples of the form ‘[ordinal]RADIAN’, as there are only a few. ‘FOURTH…
‘ROYAL’, here, also doesn’t add anything; it doesn’t serve to pin anything down, since we are already at the Island with the coordinates alone. If w…
Just before doing so, however, we may stop and think about whether we might not need to consider the inclusion of one further minor layer of misdirect…
Only, this is the very point at which our enthusiasm must vanish. Ryer is not, as we might first propose, an ‘ATOLL’. The numerous waterways whic…
It may, at this point, seem as if we have not gained very much from our attempt to limit down a form for the Z32 plaintext. However we do, at the very…
In any event: the first word of the plaintext is going to be a spelled-out integer number (or its ordinal equivalent); the very last letter of th…
Such considerations followed through might then suggest the following as a starting point in attempting to decode the Z32: Z32_beginnings.jpg
And, in one sense, this shouldn’t really surprise us, as it matches the straightforward way in which we communicate location information in our everyd…
This very finding, we can argue, ought then to be taken as a clear indication that the specification of the co-ordinates (bearing, range) as they appe…
With the word ‘INCHES’ assumed to be at the very end of the plaintext, we already fix the key association: Δ → ‘S’ Only, under the second pair…
The use of the word “Radians” in this context is clearly problematic, as it leads us initially to think about the relevance of this term to angles in …
