\nThe actual shirt clipped many of the digits to make the shape\ncome out smoother. I’ve filled in the partial digits.\n<\/p>\n
\nThere are at least two typos in the shirt.\n<\/p>\n
\nIt didn’t take a room full of developers long to decode the message.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe digits are merely the binary encoding of ASCII characters.\n<\/p>\n
