Why not put IBM's Watson to work on decoding the Zodiac killer's cryptic messages?

That smug blue bastard was all over the Masters reminding people how to work. Let him earn his paycheck.
But seriously, do you think a brute force AI attack could solve the Zodiac riddle?

Maybe it's all nonsense

Any chance the zodiac messages are just a bunch of nonsense. No message there at all?

It's just a word search.

His name is Edward Fliger, and he was a reverend in CA.

No, AI wouldn't be able to solve it. It's either nonsense or too cryptic for a computer to solve.
Just think, the symbols could mean to rotate or shift rows like a Rubik's cube. Without a good idea of which way to proceed the computer would be left to trying to brute force the code.
I did some research on encryption awhile back and 128 bit is considered secure because even with all of the computers in existence working on one 128-bit encryption key it would still take several centuries to crack IIRC.
The reason is that the computer doesn't know if any of the bits is correct until all of them are correct.
And that's just with 128 spots that can only be either 1 or 0. The zodiac code has 340 characters made up of a very large "alphabet". It's astronomically more complex than 128-bit encryption.

Isn't there some "code" inscription on a monument at the CIA headquarters that has yet to be hacked?

THE zodiac code makes so little sense that AI could make it come out to sound like almost anything it wanted to

The first two codes were broken in about a month.
Lee Allen was the killer. May he rot in hell.

Serial killers want to be famous. They want to be remembered. He was smart, yes. So he concocted these bullshite "messages" to keep people confused and guessing years after he was done. He was smart enough to make them nonsense, so no one could ever decipher them and ruin the mystery

Lee Allen was not the killer; his DNA didn't match, nor did his fingerprints/palm print.
It will be revealed in due time that Fliger was Zodiac.

It doesn't matter how powerful your computer is. It would take a computer decades to break an encryption scheme worth a shite.

The Zodiac riddle might give Watson a virus.

They did. It's answer to the cipher was:
Daisy. Daisy. Give me your answer, do.
