Ah jeez, I’m a little behind here I’ll shut up
This is very interesting and caught my attention. I’m going to spitball some ideas here. Please don’t take it too seriously There has be…
Hey Marclean, As I recall, one of the things about the QWERTY phenomenon that makes it potentially misleading is that the qwerty layout was orig…
What do you mean? I don’t understand. I was trying to see what order each letter was substituted initially, but also broken down by cycle positi…
I think I might have figured out what happened here with all the weird round nonsense, but also not. In 408, if you get rid of all the plaintext exce…
Hi there, do you think the omission at "all the[…] I have killed" part could explain how he screwed up the cycling and ended up with 18 su…
My suspicion is that it was done by design (to some degree). There is a high quality picture of the Z340 and if you look at how the symbols were drawn…
I would like to test that. Do you think that any of the options that you listed can produce (or coexist with) the Qwerty keyboard observation? Possi…
More weird, stupid nonsense in the 408 key. I’ve been playing around looking for patterns in the substitutions by building tables. As long as the su…
There might be one more thing to consider here. I didn’t realize that the history of keyboard layouts was such a controversial subject mired in folkl…
I don’t know what to make of this, but, without reading too much into it, it’s just weird. If we give some leeway for reflections and dots in the s…
Not sure what you mean with the first question. Yes, a flat distribution between 12, 13, 31, 21, 23 and 32 etc is of best interest for hiding doubles….
Bigram: frequency —————– 32: 8 23: 6 21: 5 12: 4 11: 4 The frequency for 23 wouldn’t tell you exactly the …
Of course not. I am just trying to say that he may have chosen S1 correctly but err’d while drawing making the letter E instead. Good point! Well spot…
This is pretty interesting: He just keeps going. I guess if he did skip a line, it’s more likely to have been during encryption than after it (…
