    Can anyone here figure this out? It's totally got me stumped. If you can figure this out you'r a god! The graph is in the attachment cause there's an image that I couldn't get in to the post. Thanks if advance.




    ASCII, Unicode, and EBCDIC are, of course, not the only numeric / character codes. The Sophomites from the planet Collegium use the rather strange code shown in the Figure below. There are only thirteen characters in the Sophomite alphabet, and each character uses a 5-bit code. In addition, there are four numeric digits, since the Sophomites use base 4 for their arithmetic. Given the following Sophomite sequence, what is the corresponding binary message being sent by the Sophomites?

    (HINT: Decode the sequence reading from left to right then write the corresponding binary sequence, leaving a space between each binary sequence.)

    This sounds suspiciously like you are asking us to do some homework for you. I would suggest that if you are struggling go and see your lecturer for help, because you won't get any here.

    This is trivial, to copy the binary digits for each symbol with a space between each sequence of binary digits. Some translation error may occur given the poor qaulity of the graphics. However, the answer in hexadecimal begins: 16 4 13 FB ...
