Congratulations. Very impressive that you guys solved this. This made my day.
For me it’s the journey that is fun. I’ve learned alot and solved some fun problems while coding. I’m sure I won’t crack it. There are some interesti…
Not very likely. He added a dot on one side to the symbols that are symmetric. He also swapped some symbols from Z408 to resolove some ambiguity issue…
Also consider this. Divide the length of the cipher with the number of symbols. If the cipher length is the same as the number of symbols the result …
Typewriter art contest. Awesome. I don’t believe in the pivots or something advanced. I would guess that if the cipher is double encoded in some way….
I’ve tried several different ways to create a cipher on the fly to come up with something somewhat close in structure to the z340. My current "b…
I didn’t really ask the question as I thought about it. I know that it may not be a homophonic cipher. But if it is, can we limit the search space and…
This behavior also occurs when encrypting random plaintext. Here is an example: Another thing that got me thinking about the "on the fly" …
You could assign new symbols for each letter as you encode the message. Z may have done this in Z340. I had the same idea a while ago and made a thre…
Have you ever created a cipher by hand? I would guess that he created most of the symbols before encoding the cipher. I have created a correct 340 s…
I don’t see a problem with this cipher. I compared heatmaps of z340 and z408 and the only odd thing that I see is the "+" symbol that has a…
About 20h. The assumption that "kill" is a word that is often used turns out to be a very good guess in 408. Just put "kill" in th…
