Since the cipher wheel is based on numerals you can further make the encrypted message harder to decipher. You can add rules to add, subtract, or perform any other mathematical steps in order to produce the accurate letter. For example, if you have it set so that for say the letter M, the outer most and second outer most rings are set to 2 and 7 respectively, and the unknown rule is to subtract the latter by the former, you would then write down 5 instead. Even further, since each encrypted letter is made up of two symbols instead of one, you can write each letter vertically, but the entire word is written horizontally as normal. Like this for example, using the corn example: 5913 7925 Ciphers are fun.
Yeah, add Caesar Box and what not? ❤️ And about mathematical operations, it's somewhat more complicated. More generally, you are asking for transforming the four numbers (a,b,c,d) to another n numbers, but note that the transformation has to be invertible. E.g, (a+b, a-b) is a good place to start exploring. Other complicated linear combinations, like (a+b, 2a-3b+c, c-d, a+d) are still invertible. That's common sense from linear Algebra, however, for non-linear transformations, more complicated explorations may be required. Note: Without such transformation, the message, if a large one, e.g., a few sentences will be pretty easy to decipher, even without the wheel.
Actually I'm pretty sure it is in fact michael. I don't know how long you've been subscribed, but I've been subscribed to vsauce for quite some years there buddy. I think I would recognize Mic... oh you were joking. But what is a joke?
When michael say "hey vsauce, michael here" he refers to us as vsauce. But his channel name is vsauce. So are we vsauce or is he vsauce. Things that keep me awake at night.
following the rules of English technically the plural of octopus is octopuses, octopi would follow old latin rules that don't apply to English, hence why if you type octopi google even tries to auto correct it
One way around that is to repeat the last letter of each word using another corresponding character in the cypher line to signify a space/period/end. For example, use the inner-most character as a space, period, or end.
Dook, it makes deciphering even easier. If you would make analysis and guess at least a one boundary (which would be easier as well, as "another number" means that if there's XX, it can't be one), you know that in word (with space on the end) 123456, 5 must be 6. Last letter of the word will be of course just a subset of alphabet, so probably you'd get word like 7686 and it means that 8=5=6. Then if there's 1454, then 4=5=8=6 and the game is over - you have already relative to themselves orientation of rings and you are left with 33 combinations. In fact even with a single guess like that you already have sure position of two rings relative to each other which possibly would be game over for cipher as well.
8:49 Also, I thought of date and time way before he mentioned it. As I'm sure alot of ppl did. And I'm surprised he assumes no one would think about that.
@Micah Philson I'm *very* sure he is aware of the words Bipod and Bipedal. That has nothing to do with what he said, he was simply putting worth another word that could be used to describe a human that was related to the octopus, that doesn't mean he is unaware of the real term.

A good addition could be: set the wheel to an initial position. Choose a finite sequence S, wrapped around. After every 5i letters, rotate the 4 wheels S_4i, S_(4i+1), S_(4i+2), S_(4i+3) times respectively, and continue in this way. A second level of security will redefine additional 4 rotations for the 4 wheels every 20 characters in the ciphered text, and you are good to go :D
Michael is one of the few people I would love to meet one day. Such a lovely and funny guy. Makes me smile every time he talks so enthusiastically about his toys.
That's Vsauce for you! One minute we encrypt the word "corn" with a cypher designed after a cute squid, then we discuss the heat death of our universe.
Right!? I seriously miss the kinds of videos he uploaded there. If it truly belongs to RUclips Red now, then he should just take of Vsauce2 and/or make Vsauce4 and continue. :P
1:30 - 1:49 just love the fact that you make these "fillers" in the videos ! I would love to see you just talk in a seminar or a ted talk or something because it seems like everything that you talk about is interesting and you make them not boring like so many others!
Is nobody going to mention, how O planted itself on Nines? 9, 36, 69 (nice) and 99. With only one of those numbers being not multiple nines, but still ending with nine is an amazing math coincidence) Was that intentional?
0:05 The code Michael used here was this: A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, and so on, meaning that each letter in the alphabet corresponds to it's position. So, D = 4, O = 15, N = 14, and G = 7.
I know Michael once said he likes doing DONG more than making original VSauce videos. But i really miss those gotta say. How about a second take on the Banach-Tarski-Paradox? Really like seeing Michael do these kinds of mindfuck themed videos :))))
I was watching this video, about 5 minutes in, when my Curiosity Box arrived. Splendid timing to actually handle the cipher wheel while watching the rest of it.
Sure, see ya there in when the universe dies of the heat death... *waits almost 1 googol years* I guess it's time to watch the last ever Vsauce video...
Hey Michael I had a PS to go with the last comment I just wrote I was wondering now I know you donate a percentage of each one of the quarterly curiosity boxes but my question is this now is Alzheimer's very similar to dementia or vice versa it means a lot to me because my grandmother has both Alzheimer's and Dementia so the work you do truly touches my heart and you explain things very well and easy to understand so I'm hoping you get this and maybe it could even be the topic of a future video or just somehow you know an answer thank you and keep up the good work.

This wheel is missing "space". That means you are giving away the lengths of all your words to everyone.
