[Poll for Mark Knowles] Explanation for Voynich text?
#11
The results so far are interesting and unexpected.

I would ask people what (not more than 6 categories) people would subdivide the cipher option into. Remember these would not be a list of 6 different classifications for ciphers, but rather 6 options that would be seen as plausible or possible explanations for Voynichese. I don't see much point in having a list of possibilities many of which nobody thinks applies to the Voynich(e.g. RSA algorithm).

I am quite keen to have another poll for those who selected cipher to see what kind of "cipher" explanations are most popular.

So suggestions welcome.
