I just wanna know where "01100101 01110011" is, (or what does it stand for)

@Groucho2004

#include <stdio.h>
#include "windows.h"

void main() {
printf("%c%c\n",101,115);
system("pause");
}

it shows "es", u living in Espaņa?

Yes. Didn't think anyone would spend time trying to figure this out.

nah, I was playing "dare" of "truth or dare", and the "dare" was to decode a piece of binary info.:p

There is a bit of a clue, just below Grouchys avatar.

Oh I see, did not know that you had previously removed it (think it once lived there, or maybe it was on your profile).

I was curious about that. After reading feisty's original post, I tried to limit google searches down to just those two binary iterations with quotes and add groucho the search syntax hoping to uncover some Da Vinci Codesque clue of something bigger. :p

Made me think of Futurama first.

About 2 weeks ago curiosity struck me also. I just googled "binary to text", went to unit-conversion.info (http://www.unit-conversion.info/texttools/convert-text-to-binary/) and got the answer.


@Sparktank
lol, that's funny. It's been a while since I've seen Futurama.

You seem to move around a bit:- https://www.google.co.uk/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=KRd1VKG6N5HCVND3gGA&gws_rd=ssl#q=JKX
(is it Russia or the Ukraine ? [EDIT: Or I see your headquarters is in the United Kingdom])

I've lived in Dublin for many years, never been to Russia or the Ukraine. I can see how you got to "JKX" but you walked into a HEX-Trap. :p

Sorry, I'm not too well acquainted with foreign car number plates.

5 pairs of double alpha numeric digits, gotta be S P A I N somehow.
Map coords.
Coords in Time & Space.
Spread Sheet row and columns.
I give up.

It's base 32.

0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUV

2J 3G 31 39 3E

2J = 2*32 + 19 = 83 = S
3G = 3*32 + 16 = 112 = p
31 = 3*32 + 01 = 97 = a
39 = 3*32 + 09 = 95 = i
3E = 3*32 + 14 = 110 = n


Checked and verified. Base 32 -> ASCII.

You threw in a curve ball by making first letter CAPS and others lowercase (I considered base 36 but not 32).

Aha!

"It's not base 16" was the first clue!
So it must have been a later multiple.
Although, at that point, I got taken away from my Ghostbusters (Remastered in 4K) bluray being remuxed to my PC and started playing with that.
I tried Base 64, if that's a thing.

But then I also started thinking what theme should I switch to?
Professor Farnsworth?
Roy Rogers McFreely?
But if I went with an American Dad! theme, there's a hundred different personas of Roger that I can use.
Then I got so sidetracked, I realized I had spent 5 minutes washing the same dish.....................

I wish, it sounds like a magical place.
But no, I'm afraid your code doesn't work as expected. More debugging needed. :p
