 		SPEC: Back to b100d
Time to revisit the unsolved second e-card...

Mu-ninn's hints in the Land of Mu seemed to be slapping us in the face - we must be able to solve this!

Quote:
There is something going on with "b100d", I know not what; you can
see for youself if you crack her second ecard. Red is not very
creative; any new code would be essentially the same as the last.

Anagrams, even, would be too much for her I'll wager. She's used to
reading from narrower parchments and in different directions though.
Take that as you will.



The binary, arranged into sets of five digits, and decimal equivalent:
Quote:

11000 24
10101 21
00010 2
10000 16
01111 15
10011 19
01010 10
01110 14
10110 22
10000 16
01101 13
10001 17
10101 21
10101 21
10001 17
00101 5


Using the same code as in the first card gives us

which is pretty useless. Shifting this back one letter gives
Quote:
wtaonrimuolpttpd
which is more anagrammable (plump twit tornado?) - but munin has told us *not* to expect an anagram.

Any ideas?

 		I think you mixed up some of the digits on a few lines.
Assuming you are right about the five digits it breaks down like this:

Code:

U 21 10101 get 1nv01ved in this; i t01
A 01 00001 d y0u y0ur inv0lvement was y0ur death. 1

 		As you can see from the attachment, I somehow managed to screw up the first letter. Blast! This one remained unsolved, I believe.

As you can see, the solution to the puzzle is immaterial alone. The important thing is the puzzle itself.
