Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
So here's the thing. This clue probably has two levels of "confusingness." The first one is that we're given a, seeming random, string of numbers. The assumption is that these numbers decode somehow into a series of letters, words, or other understandable data. As far as I can tell the numbers have no meaning by themselves and need to be decyphered.
I ran these numbers through a binary and hex converter and got this:
binary:
(00)10000000101010/(00)111001
()1110111011000110/(0)11110101011
()1111001101110110/(00)11110110111110
the zeros in the "()" are potential leading zeros (the calculator had an option for this.
hex:
202A/39
EEC6/7AB
F376/3DBE
No real pattern I see, but an interesting thought occurred to me as I was typing this. What if the binary is Morse code? the zeros could be dashes and the ones could be dots or the other way around. Anyone want to have a stab at translating it?
