she's professional :stunned: ?

 

I never knew that :stunned:

:lol:

So its cracked? So there's nothing else that needs to be done? Well that's not much of a secret if it doesn't lead to something big. :(

You know what, you COULD be the first person in the world to have cracked the code (if you're right, that is, and I'm quite sure you are...) You're a GENIUS, mate! Did you like, just sit there, staring at the thing?

well it's not fully cracked yet is it ? we need to figure out how the code works so we can figure out the rest of the alphabet - only then will the code be really cracked.

I must admit that when I saw the Speed of Sound cover a few days ago, I understood it. Its alot easier to see because of the increase in the amount of red horizontal lines and the fact that you can match the colours of the two E's in 'spEEd' and the two S's in 'Speed' and 'Sound'.

 

Not to pee all-over owens post, it was worth him letting people know!! :)

your absolutely right, im sure a few people noticed it with the single artwork. props to you too! I am happy that others saw it too, i think I was just the first one to post about it!

I guess you could be right, but I wouldnt call it genius. rather, i just sat there (ironically listening to coldplay) and when I got the email about the single cover I looked at it for 2 minutes or so, noticed the pattern was the same as the backsplash on the official site, but coloured and with the red lines. Thats when it clicked the lines represent the letters in the title. I immediately came on here and posted about that, and then half way through my post I realized that the blocks were the same under the same letter! Instead of staring, it just came with a quick look really.

Yeah, I like the artwork alot more because of the code. I liked it before but now.... :) :)

The little lines in the "Speed of Sound" cover make it obvious that the letters of the song title fit in there, but I'm not sure if I would have looked closely enough to realize that the blocks in the columns associated with the same letter, say "S" for example, are the same.

*bleep* you.. not cool man!! .. Debs is cool... and professional, dont insult her if I can see it.. or let me hear about you insulting her.. she is very professional and a great pal.. you're just jealous because she knows the band, and you dont... and because she banned you! hahahhah! :P

i'm fairly confident that i've cracked the code.

 

here's the full alphabet :-

here's my prediction of the "what if" cover (if they release it as a single, which i bet they do)

here's how to write "coldplay"

and not forgetting, "coldplaying" :-

cheers wayne :P :D

:huh: :huh: :huh:

great job wayne, so now i think everyone will see how i meant, visually! great work.

But how can you be sure of the other letters??? :huh:

search for "baudot code" in google - you'll find everything you need to know :)

 

it's well smart - the code was primarily used in telegraph systems - very fitting that coldplay have chosen a code table primarily used for people to talk to other. interestingly, the & in X&Y appears to be a hypen ie. X-Y unless of course they've chosen a code table that is a slight variation on the baudot code.

 

btw, thanks owenrees for pointing out the ---- -- ----- thing.

thought the album cover was good before, now i think its genius!

how'd you find out about baudot code?

WOOOWWWW!!!! :o :o :o

 

"The 'baudot' code has been used extensively in telegraph systems. It is a five bit code invented by the Frenchman Emile Baudot in 1870. Using five bits allowed 32 different characters. To accomodate all the letters of the alphabet and numerals, two of the 32 combinations were used to select alternate character sets. "

 

you're right!

now we have all the letters!

Thanks a lot!

genius!!!

PS: I never heard of this code before...thanks to Coldplay now I know something more!!! :smug:
