Yes, "probably", "possibly" and "may" do come up a lot, because that is the honest approach when assessing the Zodiac Ki…
For years many assumed the cipher was improperly coded or deliberately unsolvable. The fact it took 51 years to solve what is an ingeniously encrypted…
I can’t believe it was a period 19 transposition this whole time, just like what was suspected. Now I wonder why that transposition scheme was chosen,…
I have been wondering the same, although I wish I could contribute more. I also find it confusing how certain operations can increase the period 19 r…
Jarlve, when you say adding an 18th column consisting of new unique symbols, do you mean symbols not currently in the z340? So the period 5 bigrams wo…
Damn, only 22 bigrams… It’s so hard explore all possible transpositions though.
Sorry, just so I am following this correctly, ciphers that are more cyclic, are more susceptible to periodic transpositions that could significantly a…
This was great, thanks Doranchak! Looking forward to more.
This is from 1968, but Joseph Alito is listed living as living there, literally a 5 minute walk from Paul Stine. That basically cements that this is a…
The "quiz" on the right side just seems to be a forced solution of z340 that creates random zodiaclike words. Weird.
Thanks Doranchak for sharing these. I’ve had a similar idea to use SVM’s to classify ciphertexts but have never gotten around to implementing it.
Someone probably needs to rule out the obvious: Is the source of the mnemonic the very book it is written in? Maybe someone was practicing memorizatio…
