Maybe I'm being a bit slow today ... but I don't see the binary numbers encoded in the pattern.

I get gray codes (yay Karnaugh maps from EE101!), but I just don't see the binary numbers - someone mind explaining?

sure thing - read the strips in horizontal rows of 10 bits from the top down, giving a white pixel a value of 0 and a black pixel a 1. So, on the gray code strip on the right, we see:

...etc. Does that make sense?

Upvoted for the mentioning of Karnaugh maps! For a subject I'm not particularly interested in (binary arithmetic and logic), I found Karnaugh maps and some of the stuff we did with them in Phy220 quite brilliant and interesting.

Just curious, what code speak is this: EE101, Phy220?

My guess is Electrical Engineering course number id 101 and Physics course number id 220.

Did you guys attend the same college or is there a larger part of the world where these ids are standardized?
