Q2 and Q6 are the same as those used in the original "“Sodiac" cipher; both the original ciphertext and its deoryption have been published. However, the following differences should be noted between the cryptograms in the submitted specimens and the cryptograns authored -by “Zodiac:* we {1) The longer "Zodiac" ciphers were inscribed into a rectangle. The end of the first ("solved") cryptogram, when deciphered, was unintelligible; the author apparently used the cipher symbols to complete the rectangle. Since the second cipher remains unsolved, it is not known whether ce any nulls are used to complete the rectangle. The cryptogram in specimen Q2 does not follow the same pattern of inscribing the message into @ complete rectangle (i.e., the last line of the ocryptogram contains only 3 symbols). {2} The “Zodiac* cryptograns contained 17 symbols per row. The cryptogram in specimens Q2 and Q6 contain 13 ayrmbols per row. The decryptions of specimens Q2 and Q6 follow. Garbled portions of the plaintext have been corrected; these corrections are underlined.
