[net.math] A puzzle

philipl@bronze.UUCP (06/23/83)

This is a 6 bit paper tape code I ran across.  I haven't found any
pattern to the code, but I assume there must be some pattern.  Can
you find it?

I got the code off a tape that I knew the contents of.  Unfortunately
the tape didn't use all the letters.  It just makes it a little
more interesting, right?

The numbers are in octal.  I don't know know if I've got the most
significant bit in the right place or not, but that won't destroy
any pattern.

A 30	N 06	0 55	       If I get any results, I'll post them.
B 23	O 03	1 67	    For the sake of those who would like to
C 16	P 15	2 71	    work this out, please don't show off and
D 22	Q	3 60	    post your answer, for at least a few days.
E	R 12	4 52	    (I shouldn't have to say that, but ...)
F 26	S	5 41
G	T 01	6 65	       Also, if anybody knows what the code is
H 05	U	7 74	    used for, you get extra credit.  (I know
I 14	V	8 54	    the answer to that one; at least I know
J   	W	9 43	    what the tape I got it off of was for.)
