The Lorenz SZ42, codenamed Tunny, was a German teleprinter encryption device used during WW2. This is the fourth challenge in a series of 13 level-2 challenges with the SZ42.

What is the "characteristic" that you use to compare to a corpus? I'm only getting a 1.3% difference using that one statistic that will not be named. Is that enough of a signal?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I have a 4-sigma effect, but the answer is rejected. (4 sigmas is 4 standard deviations above average. Should be highly confident.)

Hi madness,

I looked at your submission and it's wrong. I confirmed with someone else's submission which was correct.

best newton
