Noah_A_S Posted September 11, 2022 Posted September 11, 2022 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.

I am now a mod on that subreddit. I would still like to remember what the missing step is. I just need to remember and retrace my steps. I would like to know what the next step is, and yes you would need to convert the 'binary' to Hex, as ASCII. ASCII --> HEX or TEXT --> HEX. Douglas Engelbart was responsible for the invention of the computer mouse, that eventually evolved into to the one that we use today. He also patented and invented the personal computer and hypertext.
