Here is what I have promised, a breakdown of the cipher letters compared to the possible plaintext. I have changed line "treetop of side wind romance" to...
Well from my calculations this Cipher has 64 words that are coded incorrectly and 83 that are in the dictionary I never think that I expected to see such a...
I created another list to compare the observations of Ed Rupp. This list shows the order of appeared cleartext with the corresponding cipher letter. Comparing...
Breaking the [E. A. Poe] cipher The first thing was to accept the cipher as legitimate, in the terms that it fitted Poe's criteria. Only English words allowed...
... No but then again I don't think the puzzle will be as eassily solved by just solving this... I've written a program which works out using the code and a...
... No. but, I wish I knew that it had already been solved before they asked me to submit my entry. ... I didn't use my computer to solve the cipher. Though I...
Well assuming the code has been broken; and will shortly be published how does everybody feel about pooling our knowlegde and working together on the...
First, congratulations to 'mystery_inc' on getting his solution, and comiserations for finding that there is already a solution submitted (huge bummer after...
Hi all I've been quiet for over a week. There has been good reason though - I've been trying to get hold of Shawn. You see I'VE BROKEN the cipher. As for being...
I've been thinking about this. We may be all disappointed that the challenge is over (Supposedly). Especially me! Got to put the flag on top only to be pushed...
Ok. I have an article titled "Unicity Points in Cryptanalysis" by Cipher A. Deavours (from Cryptologia Vol 1, No. 1, Jan. 1977) which estimates the minimum...
... I think that its very new and has only just be post. as a matter of interest Addison also contributed to and co-authored magazines "Tatler" and "Spectator"...
> What do you think? I'll go back pin my eyelids back and look again, but for the life of me I can't see any significant differences. Are we able to put...
Thanks for the Vote! I suppose a vote of 1 isn't so bad :-) ... Ok, so to make everything crystal clear, what I think you are saying is... The 'x' in these...
... One of Poe's letters says that he was away for one publication of the magazine and didn't get a chance to proof read the cryptograms printed. He then...
... in ... No! ... It shows up in the same place all the time, but not complete, i.e THOER FRADRANT. I certainly haven't got it. I've searched the internet for...
The two words with most in common are:- <<...>> 80 . 11 [x1q4c4m5k2u1y5w5e5k5a6] and <<...>> 113 . 9 [k2y3s1x1t3c4e5f4a6] they have astonishing 5 letters in...
Two words with most letters in common... There are a few words that are like this. One of the programs I wrote (a few years ago now) allowed me to pick groups...
Hi Mystery ... different to my interpretations then ... deciphering this is actually having ... I agree with this without an accurate interpretation of the...
I've look hard at the symbol encoding table published by "mystery_inc " and I disagree on a few following letters... I use a different coding system from this...
Do anyone have copies of the original articles in Graham's Magazine and letters between Tyler and Poe? The first thing would be to verify all know data. The...
There seems to be much debate in the group on the nature of the puzzle that we have been set. As far as I can ascertain the key section of the letters which we...
Hello all, I have been trying to translate the cipher into something my computer can read. I have tried to create a notation based on the actual letter then 1...
Hi all I've just joined, and thought I'd weigh in with some thoughts. Tim Roberts said (in message 4) : <<there is a word R-v-v at the end of line 10. So this...
I don't know why people think Tyler might be Poe. The letter from Tyler seems quite explicit, and Poe is quite rude (IMO) in his response. I think in the lack...
Here's the frequency count for letters in the Poe cipher. Columns are lower case, upper case large, upper case small, upper case small inverted, upper case...
