Puzzle

[Callisto]

I was given this puzzle with no instructions; just to 'solve' it.

Any ideas?

hint:

Spoiler:

0-4 = white, 5-9 = black. Which "pixels" break the underlying pattern?

[Sandor]

I'm not sure what BlueSox is driving at, but I took out a little of the donkey work

Spoiler:

Replacing 0-4 with ".", and 5-9 with 'X' gives this:

Code: Select all

X.X.X.X.X
.X.X.X.X.
X..X.X..X
.X.XXX.X.
X.X...X.X
.X.XXX.X.
X.X...X.X
.X.X.X.X.
X...X...X
.XXX.XXX.
X..X.X..X
.XXX.XXX.
X...X...X
.X.X.X.X.
X..X.X..X
.XXX.X.X.
X..X.XX.X
.XXX.X.X.
X..X.X..X
.X.X.X.X.
X.X.X.X.X


There's a definite pattern there, but I'm not sure what it signifies

That doesn't seem like it gives a whole answer to me, but I haven't found anything else yet.

Yes, I solved your hint, and it clearly means something. But it doesn't seem like a satisfying solution to the puzzle to me, and you threw out a lot of information to find that, so I can't help but wonder if there's more there to be found.

There might be more interesting stuff to play with in the data. But the puzzle itself comes from here, and that's all the creator of it intended.
