What that was is a binary code translation for: “If you translated this the send the message “Rainbow Ducks” To mccueq@gmail.com to win a T-shirt”

Binary code according to wikipedia is:

“A binary code represents text or computer processor instructions using the binary number system‘s two binary digits, 0 and 1. A binary code assigns a bit string to each symbol or instruction. For example, a binary string of eight binary digits (bits) can represent any of 256 possible values and can therefore correspond to a variety of different symbols, letters or instructions.

In computing and telecommunication, binary codes are used for various methods of encoding data, such as character strings, into bit strings. Those methods may use fixed-width orvariable-width strings. In a fixed-width binary code, each letter, digit, or other character is represented by a bit string of the same length; that bit string, interpreted as a binary number, is usually displayed in code tables in octal, decimal or hexadecimal notation. There are many character sets and many character encodings for them.”

Quinn knew about it. Your’s truly was like a lot of you… left in the dark.
