I'm guessing a bunch of random 1's and o's......why?

 

[kleptobismol]

no...it means something im pretty sure... one of my friends sent it to me and im trying to figure out what it means.

It says:

Only you, and you only, for you are special...

I'm pretty sure that's right. I did some out of my head but I had to use a guide for the punctuation.

Binary isn't hard once you know the system (just very tedious). Each character has eight spaces. They represent 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128, read from right to left.

Capital letters begin with 010##### and lowercase begin with 011#####. Punctuation and spaces begin with 001#####. The last five numbers tell you what you're looking at. Letters are easy. They are represented by 0-26. So, if you saw 01000011, you would look at the first three digits, 010, and know that you had a capital letter. Then you'd look at the last five. You have a 1 in the 1 spot, at the far right, and another 1 in the three spot. The zeros mean "false" and are not counted. So, you add 1 and 2, and have 3. The third letter of the alphabet is C.

You can either memorize punctuation or use a chart. Here's a helpful site on it.

Basically, you need to convert each "chunk" of 1's and 0's to decimal number. then use the decimal number to look up the ASCII character equivalent. Thus Binary 1001111 = Decimal 79 = ASCII "O".

Here is the message:

Spoiler: Answer to the encoding

"Only you, and you only, for you are special..."
