Still Waiting for D'Agapeyeff

Today I calculated the percent of the likely key space I've checked to date.  I have checked:

564 Key Variants
2,842,560 Transposition Keys

The likely keyspace, as I've defined it, is any permutation of column pairings with a phi value over 500.

4509 Total Key Variants
22,725,360 Total Transposition Keys

Thus far I've checked only 12.51% of the likely key space.  It's slow going, but I hope to be rewarded for my patience.

Waiting for D'Agapeyeff

Waiting for a solution to present itself is both exciting and challenging.  I've never been accused of being patient, but in this endeavor it's my only choice.

This entire process reminds me quite a bit of the play Waiting for Godot.

D'Agapeyeff will not be here today, but . . .
he will surely be here tomorrow . . . right?
