Binary code.

If anyone is wondering what's that binary code which Moriarty expresses through his fingertips.

10001000000010000000100000001000100000001000000001000001000001000001


Now, its decimal value equals 4.90104671079E+18
But its ASCII translation says that the code isn't divisible by 8.(cannot be accepted by ASCII standards.)
This can be that I may have errored in seeing the code, or it wasn't really meant to be a secret code or something.

Feel free to check the code try to find out if I've errored in writing that code (it was really taxing).

Re: Binary code.

UPDATE: The code was that  Moriarty was tapping his fingers to Johann Sebastian Bach. That was the rhythm. So, there's no meaning to that binary.

Re: Binary code.

add to that Moriarty himself said "There is no code! DOOFUS!!!!" It was just a con to put Sherlock through the paces and keep him distracted.

Of course, I knew that, but I thought this code would still have some meaning, like, the writers put in some stuff. But it was just utter gibber

Re: Binary code.

would be cool if it had some unlockable statement to it to the fans like saying "Elementary My Dear Warson" (Moftiss are big fans of the Rathbone/Bruce Movies so it would have been a cute easter egg on their part) course you'd have to have fans who could translate the binary code to it's numeric value and then translate that to alpha/numerics in order to switch it over to english....

and is any of that actually possible? (Math and computer science are not my subjects)

Yes, of course it is possible. ASCII translation from binary...
