I was working on a description and Python code for the Puzzling Pelican Playfair
(P³) cipher, but kept getting 241 erroneous trigrams when I decrypt the 10B ciphertext.
Some of these are due to 1-1-1 triangles that I have yet to fix. But others, like
TXR -> NSE and IFX -> ECA do not make sense to me. My method decrypts them
as ORX and FIZ respectively, by trying to put the centers of the two triangles
as close as possible to each other. One of us is making a mistake; is it me?
Also, I have about a megabyte of nice graphics for the grid of this cipher.
How shall I send them to you (if you want them)?
