You recieve this intersteallar radio message.
What does it mean?
Well, the message consists of 1,679 tones, a number whose only factors are 1,
23, 73, and 1679. Obviously, the logical thing to do is construct a 23 x 73
grid of sqaures to plot this message.
For every blip, fill in a square white, and for every bloop, fill in a sqaure
black.
This is the resulting image.
If your calculations are correct, this message was sent from a now desolate
planet called Earth exactly 1300 years ago. What are these strange
hieroglyphics? What could this message tell us about the lifeforms that lived
in 2021 over 61.3 quadrillian miles away?
