To do the first one, you might or might not benifiet from reading up on binary numbers, you don't have to know but it helps. The 2nd one, i think I actually hurt myself by putting it in binary, just look at the rover picture and you will see it.

01 1011 1011 0111011001 10 0000 0001 1001100111 00 0010 0010 0000001010

Thanks. I know this is probably stupid, but to get a decimal value for a binary matrix, for example the first letter, would you just write it out 100100 and have a value of 36 or ? Sorry for the dumb math question.

Can you post what you used for the binary code? There seem to be some discrepencies as to what people believe is the right binary code.

Hopefully after the pass tonight then we can get some better pictures. I am trying to debate whether I should even look at trying to hack on that first string of code, or if I should wait for updated pictures.

Quade, look at the links I posted above, they have a picture of the real disc (The disc actually looks different)

and also after much zooming and analysis done by someone other than me (Thanks X-Scale) 10011011010010010010000001010000010010010010011 01000010010001011001000011001000010001000011001 00011010010010010000000010010000010000000010010 I believe that is what the code is this time

I also believe that the image currently up there is from Spirit and not opportunity yet, but here is a link 2 the opportunity Disc: http://origin.mars5.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/1/p/002/1P128365104EFF0100P2205L4M1.JPG and http://origin.mars5.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/1/p/002/1P128365137EFF0100P2205L1M1.JPG

For all those that had fun decoding Spirit's message, there is now a 2nd message up, that is different, on Opportunity. https://planetary.org/redrover-dvd/dvd_opportunity.html

Just so everyone knows, there is a 2nd code up and it is different than the first: https://planetary.org/redrover-dvd/dvd_opportunity.html

Can someone post what they have for the letter V? I pretty much have every letter done, but my V and K are comming out as l-llll--- and |-||||--| which just doesn't seem right, those seem exceedingly large.... But they work, so hey...
