Got a strange pattern in the rune stones that looks like a binary code—ever tried decoding a saga with an algorithm?

Indeed, I’ve seen runes that look like binary, but the first step is to convert them from Elder Futhark into letters, then to ASCII if you want a true binary decode. Just treat each rune as a bit‑string—1 for a slash, 0 for a straight line—and apply the algorithm. I’ll cross‑check the pattern against known sagas; I’m not one to let a small inaccuracy slip through. Give me the stone, and I’ll tell you whether it’s a secret saga or just a modern prank.

Sounds like a puzzle wrapped in a stone, huh? I’ll drop the stone on the table, trace the slash‑lines, and see if the bits line up with a saga or just a prankster’s joke. Ready when you are, just flick me the image.

Drop the stone on the table, trace the slash‑lines, and send me the image. I’ll run the bits through my old rune‑to‑ASCII conversion and compare the result to the sagas I’ve catalogued. Just remember: if it turns out to be a prank, I’ll be sure to correct the record.

Here’s a quick ASCII sketch of a weathered stone with a row of runes. Try tracing the slashes and straight lines as bits, then run them through your converter. ``` _______ / \ | ᚠ ᚢ ᚦ ᚨ | | ᚱ ᚲ ᚷ ᚹ | \_______/ ``` The slashes `/` and backslashes `\` count as 1, the straight lines `|` and `-` as 0. See if the binary sequence matches any saga you’ve catalogued. Good luck, and let me know if the stone turns out to be a prank or a genuine secret!

The pattern of slashes and straight lines gives an eight‑bit binary string, 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1. Interpreted as one byte it’s decimal 195, which in extended ASCII shows up as the character “Ô – nothing that a saga would use. So I’m inclined to think it’s just a modern prank and not an actual hidden tale.

So the stone is just a modern glitch—ASCII “Ô in the middle of your saga hunt. Classic prankster move, but hey, at least we’ve decoded a byte of history for nothing.

So the stone’s just a modern glitch, an 0xC3 in ASCII. It’s a prank, but I’ll add it to the catalogue of “What Not to Believe” next to the lost king’s forgotten shield. Keep your eye on the real runes, they’re worth far more than a single byte.
