#Dancing men cipher cracked
Also in the story, Holmes tells Watson: "I am fairly familiar with all forms of secret writing, and am myself the author of a trifling monograph upon the subject, in which I analyse one hundred and sixty separate ciphers." I think it's ok to suspend disbelief about the cracked cipher. While it's true that some of it is guesswork, this is still London in the late 1800s there's a limit to how truly advanced a cipher can be that is able to be remembered and written by people not using machines.
In the actual full story, there are several ciphered messages sent, at least one the length of a paragraph, and not all of them are drawn out for the reader.Unless you were given at least two letters, or had a few pages of writing you couldn't possibly break the code with even a small degree of certainty. There's not even kind of close to enough for someone to break a substitution code with just a few short phrases like that.And third, remember the story? Watson himself said that Hilton Cubitt (the victim) fired first, and the culprit fired one fraction of a second later, which makes Hilton Cubitt the aggressor, THAT is a mitigating circumstance -Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaimesamurai 16:28, Aug(UTC) -Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.94.201.34 ( talk) Second, It's true that he was a potential kidnapper, but obviously that doesn't deserve the death penalty he was first sentenced to. First of all, Slaney (the culprit) wasn't there to steal property, which rules out that he was a burglar.At the end of the story Slany escapes the noose-despite the fact that he threatens Elsie that he was armed that Elsie Husband was defending himself against a armed burgler and that he was was a housebreaker!! -Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.53.145.198 ( talk) 14:18, Aug(UTC).
I agree - while it is well written, it is not encylopedic in tone. Why does this entry have so many questions? -Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.7.157.69 ( talk) 02:58, 14 November 2010 (UTC) You know what I mean? Any comments on it are welcome.
#Dancing men cipher movie
I honestly think it should be written a tad more formal, kind of like the script for a movie but with more detail.
Well, this seems a bit more like the summary of a book for younger children.
