A grouping of twenty one characters provides an equal number; of seven of each of the characters \,| and / in any one group. With seven groups of three characters, in each group, that’s six possible orderings, for each group, and (7 x 6), or forty-two ways of arranging all twenty one characters, while still maintaining equal numbers of each character in each grouping. I see the pattern looks symmetrical, which may reduce the possibilities, but that is just a hope.
Given that the telegraph cipher just provides the coordinates for the ADFGVX cipher, there seems limited scope for frequency analysis.
Well done to anyone who has solved 10B. Painvin and anyone else continuing to work through this gets my admiration and respect. I hope you get to a solution, but remember, it’s about the journey, just as much as the destination. I hope you learn something useful on the way.
