Decoded

| 1 Comment

Last night over a post-hanami pizza dinner, a friend of a friend decoded one of my binary necklaces. Tracey was wearing one that she bought from Etsy (thank you!) and when Joe found out it was encoded, he wanted to figure it out.

He made a few false starts as he guessed which bead represented one and which zero but got them backward. He spotted the space right away and that was neat. But then he asked me about the LSB and I had no idea what he was talking about. Once it was explained, (LSB, least significant bit, is the first digit in the sequence) I couldn't tell him whether it was the top or bottom of the dangle - I have done necklaces both ways. I will have to be more consistent.

Despite these challenges, he did eventually decode it correctly to read "smart girl" and we declared him a very smart guy indeed.

I'll be interested to see which friend first decodes my necklace. Thanks!!
