    <p>My friend was given this free google website optimizer tshirt and came to me to try and figure out what the front logo meant.</p> <p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iQVgmEEAit4/SPkKHA3e8fI/AAAAAAAAAB8/ugUerJjuBw8/s1600-h/GWO-tshirt.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">t-shirt</a></p> <p>So, I have a couple of guesses as to what it means, but I was just wondering if there is something more.</p> <p>My first guess is that each block represents a page layout, and the logo "You should test that" just means that you should use google website optimizer to test which is the best layout. I hope that this isn't the answer, it just seems to simple and unsatisfying.</p> <p>Well, I've spent the past hour trying to figure out if there is any deeper meaning, but to no avail. So, I'm here hoping that someone might be able to help.</p> <p>I did though write a program to see if the blocks represent something in binary. I'll post the code below. My code tests every permutation of reading a block as 4 bits, and then tries to interpret these bits as letters, hex, and ip addresses.</p> <p>I hope someone knows better.</p> <pre><code>#This code interprets the google t-shirt as a binary code, each box 4 bits. # I try every permutation of counting the bits and then try to interpret these # interpretations as letters, or hex numbers, or ip addresses. # I need more interpretations, maybe one will find a pattern import string #these represent the boxes binary codes from left to right top to bottom boxes = ['1110', '1000', '1111', '0110', '0011', '1011', '0001', '1001'] #changing the ordering permutations = ["1234", "1243", "1324", "1342", "1423", "1432", "2134", "2143", "2314", "2341", "2413", "2431", "3124", "3142", "3214", "3241", "3412", "3421", "4123", "4132", "4213", "4231","4312", "4321"] #alphabet hashing where 0 = a alphabet1 = {'0000':'a', '0001':'b', '0010':'c', '0011':'d', '0100':'e', '0101':'f', '0110':'g', '0111':'h', '1000':'i', '1001':'j', '1010':'k', '1011':'l', '1100':'m', '1101':'n', '1110':'o', '1111':'p'} #alphabet hasing where 1 = a alphabet2 = {'0000':'?', '0001':'a', '0010':'b', '0011':'c', '0100':'d', '0101':'e', '0110':'f', '0111':'g', '1000':'h', '1001':'i', '1010':'j', '1011':'k', '1100':'l', '1101':'m', '1110':'n', '1111':'o'} hex = {'0000':'0', '0001':'1', '0010':'2', '0011':'3', '0100':'4', '0101':'5', '0110':'6', '0111':'7', '1000':'8', '1001':'9', '1010':'a', '1011':'b', '1100':'c', '1101':'d', '1110':'e', '1111':'f'} #code to convert from a string of ones and zeros(binary) to decimal number def bin_to_dec(bin_string): l = len(bin_string) answer = 0 for index in range(l): answer += int(bin_string[l - index - 1]) * (2**index) return answer #code to try and ping ip addresses def ping(ipaddress): #ping the network addresses import subprocess # execute the code and pipe the result to a string, wait 5 seconds test = "ping -t 5 " + ipaddress process = subprocess.Popen(test, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE) # give it time to respond process.wait() # read the result to a string result_str = process.stdout.read() #For now, need to manually check if the ping worked, fix later print result_str #now iterate over the permuation and then the boxes to produce the codes for permute in permutations: box_codes = [] for box in boxes: temp_code = "" for index in permute: temp_code += box[int(index) - 1] box_codes.append(temp_code) #now manipulate the codes using leter translation, network, whatever #binary print string.join(box_codes, "") #alphabet1 print string.join( map(lambda x: alphabet1[x], box_codes), "") #alphabet2 print string.join( map(lambda x: alphabet2[x], box_codes), "") #hex print string.join( map(lambda x: hex[x], box_codes), "") #ipaddress, call ping and see who is reachable ipcodes = zip(box_codes[0:8:2], box_codes[1:8:2]) ip = "" for code in ipcodes: bin = bin_to_dec(code[0] + code[1]) ip += repr(bin) + "." print ip[:-1] #ping(ip[:-1]) print print </code></pre> <p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iQVgmEEAit4/SPkKHA3e8fI/AAAAAAAAAB8/ugUerJjuBw8/s1600-h/GWO-tshirt.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">t-shirt</a>.</p>
