Well, I'm not sure - I got the impression that he would reveal the
answer sometime next week.  Of course, we don't have to actually learn
of the answer for as long as we want, too.  It CAN'T POSSIBLY BE THAT
HARD though, dammit. <grin>

It's good that you're thinking about different representations,
actually, because mine *could* be a bad binary representation.  Not
because of typos (I'm pretty sure it's clean of those), but because PM
might work differently.  See here:

Instead of a phase change indicating a high signal, I suspect it might
indicate a signal change.  So the first 8 bits would be 10100010 or
01011101, depending on how you start.  Isn't that nice to know?  Two of
those references I sited earlier seem to give conflicting answers as to
how PM actually works in this respect.

Though actually, we have perfect granularity with my rep. too, as long
as we know the first one is positive. (1 means phase change, so a second
'1' means '34' in your language.  But now I'm just nit-picking, aren't
I? <grin>)
