 		Google Summer of Code Shirt.
Google gave out shirts with a code on the back.

http://cramer.cs.nmt.edu/~cs111/shirt.jpg

repeating, it says:

1001010110000101011001101
11100100011110111001111000

perhaps. It's not regular binary or anything easy. Help?

 		Look at it from top to bottom. It's either 00000000, 11111111, or 1010101010. Seems like it's just for show.

 		Shirt o' pain in the ass
don't be confused by looking at it top to bottom there's only two lines of actually binary just repeated over.

11100100011110111001111000
10010101100001010111001101

but I've been trying to break it down:

13 groups of 4?

1110
0100
0111
1011
1001
1110
0010
0101
0110
0001
0101
1100
1101

or if the lines are switched we have a second option:

1110
0100
0111
1011
1001
1110
0010
0101
0110
0001
0101
1100
1101

but the groups of 4 don't make sense.
in binary you only have 16 different characters. You would need groups of four to do anything with all 26 characters of the alphabet.

Simply said this shirt was not made for an easy binary to letters conversion.

 		mistake
I just caught my mistake

it would take groups of fives to use the full 26 characters in the alphabet
