Reply To: Yet another 10B post
I’m not sure how much of this will be let through because its quite revealing so feel free to censor as much as you want Harry. but if you continue down that path you can whittle it down to chunks of 21 which contain 7 of each character. I believe this is what the case file with the brick wall and the one about counting is hinting at. The last hint is an obvious pointer towards the ADFGVX cipher which I should have seen earlier because the cipher is famous for having only 6 characters and the three needle telegraph can only output 6 different characters. The part I’m really stuck on is figuring out how to extract the 7 letters from the blocks of 21 or any letters from any sized chunks for that matter because some of the needle arrangements make no sense. I believe case file 10.7 is trying to hint at how to figure this out but I am at a loss trying to find the meaning behind it. That’s my take on 10B, I don’t think I am far from the solution but but I am really getting tripped up by one bit.
As you can see, I let all of this through, but with a delay as I think it might be a bit too helpful for today! (29th Dec) Harry
