Me and a friend solved this binary once before in the past, using some kind of backwards logic. It doesn't convert straight to ASCII as it is is not really ASCII characters or even binary.
It appears to be. But only in sense of language. While translating to ASCII from binary you might find that the result is completely encoded. So it's a sort of puzzle, in that sense, and it contains a message. The one time it did get translated, it was Douglas Engelbart. That's what it meant. I'm trying to remember how it was done. I'm asking for help on this.
I remember that the first step was to translate the 'binary' on this page, which ignores types, to Hex, but to do inside the box labeled ASCII.
10001011101010101001011
00101110
1110010110110101001
1010101010010011
1010101010010101
10101010010101010101010
101010101001
101010
I would also like to work on this string:
1010101110101100010111101
The first string translates to Douglas Engelbart, through a series of steps, I'm just missing/can't remember that one. It's been too long.
I don't know what the second one is.
