Post Race!

You can tell it's the post race, too.

I gave you the rules under which the pattern was drawn. They are consistent, and the pattern is consistent with the rules. There is nothing anti-binary about that. You came up with the idea that there is an error because you imposed additional rules that I never stated, then tried to tell me how I had originally conceived the pattern. The error is only in your mind. There is nothing in the pattern that violates the rules that were stated, and the rules are sufficient to determine the message...or at least about half the message, as I only posted one of the two pictures that make up the whole yard.

True. There are legit discussions going around here.

That's a merman.

Did you use your special fish biologist powers to figure that out?

I did! It's a member of the Mermanus cartooni species. It was found in Family Guy in the episode Stewie Kills Lois Part II, and explained the difficult problem of mermaid reproduction left unanswered in other mermaid pictures.

I suppose mermen could reproduce like seahorses.

They're certainly hung like them.

Hung like a sea horse?

You told us what you did i.e. you started with a cool binary backyard, then you admitted adding some extra red tiles which threw off the pattern and made it difficult or impossible to decipher your binary encoded message, finally you invented some new rules a couple of days ago, which cannot be reasonably deduced by anyone, in an attempt to justify your furtive backyard behaviours although, unsurprisingly, no-one believed you. :Þ

Nope, you can see the extra red tiles throwing off the pattern and making it undecipherable on the top left hand side of the picture you posted in post #55790.

Half the message, what happened to the rest of it?

Even though your backyard has gone all anti-binary, at least it still looks like a game of tetris.☺

Every time I open the thread and see that post I think of old 80s specturm games and think:-

Way of the Exploding Witis!

Haaayah!

The fact that you can't decipher the code when given the rules that are sufficient to do so says more about you than it does about the yard. As for the rest, you have made it all up, and it isn't the first time. Once you decide a set of rules applies, you never let reality intrude on your assumptions.

They don't throw off anything. Binary patterns have only two values: 1 and 0. So what value do you suggest that the third color has? It can't be a 1 and it can't be a 0, because I have already said that the other two colors use those values. Why do you insist that the third color is vital to understanding the pattern? That would be like saying that the value of 2 is essential to reading a byte made up of 0 and 1.

In the original post, which I haven't found and haven't sought, there were two pictures that covered the entire yard. Rather than re-posting both of them, I posted just the one. So, the image is not the entire yard, only the first few words of it. If you figure out one half, I'll re-post the other.

What game of tetris have you ever played that had single blocks? There are almost no Tetris shapes in the whole image, nor are there enough colors for a game of Tetris.

I've got that version. It's really easy.

Hmmm, if you wrote in Tetris shapes, would you be forced to write only block letters?

Are you talking about the Sinclair ZX Spectrum?
That company was founded by Clive Sinclair which almost released the SuperSpectrum and SuperBasic, a portable computer called pandora, and a desktop computer named Loki.
Sir Clive was knighted in 1983, suffered financical difficulties in 1985, and a year later he sold the rights to his computer products to Amstrad.
Bloody monarchist (knighthoods are still "honours under the Crown"), I was glad when it was all over.

That made me laugh:
"Despite his involvement in computing, Sinclair does not use the Internet, stating that he does not like to have "technical or mechanical things around me" as it distracts from the process of invention. In 2010 he stated that he does not use computers himself, using the telephone in preference to email." - wiki

Do you mean that I am imagining the presence of a number of red tiles appearing at the top left hand side of the picture you posted that throw the binary pattern off?

I can't argue there Shaggy.

Third colour? Didn't you just say binary patterns only have two colours?

Now you have lost me Shaggy, your trinary colouring system is quite irregular.

Can you please tell us once again the purpose the third colour?

Ah, I see, have you added any extra red tiles as fill in the other section of your backyard?
