Geocache Description:


This puzzle is a member of the Map of Victoria GeoArt. It has been placed to coincide with the Parkville Mega.

According to Wikipedia,

In mathematics and computer science, the binary numeral system, or base-2 numeral system, represents numeric values using two symbols: 0 and 1. More specifically, the usual base-2 system is a positional notation with a radix of 2. Numbers represented in this system are commonly called binary numbers. Because of its straightforward implementation in digital electronic circuitry using logic gates, the binary system is used internally by almost all modern computers and computer-based devices such as mobile phones.

While studying another puzzle, I came up with my own version of a binary puzzle using an 8-bit Byte. As mentioned in the title, this binary is backwards and bogus.
