# Light N' Easy
My DIM-WIT no good half-brother gave me this binary text. Lead the way and help me show him who the B055 is.
Note: enclose the flag in d4rk{}c0de before submitting.

## The Basics
Basically we have 64 binary strings of length 8. First I tried the obvious, just translating into ascii or hex. This led nowhere. I noticed that there were null strings at regular intervals which made me think of spaces. By that logic, I assumed that each binary string was going to be a character.
At some point I had a flashback to one of my olf CS labs about MIPS pprogramming and remembered the way you control a 7 segment display: 7 segments and a dot. When I saw the hint shortly after I realized this had to be it.
## The solving
Basically the way it will work is the display looks like this:
```
b
===
a| g |c
===
f| |d
=== .h (the dot)
e
```
The input is mapped in sequence, first bit maps to a, second to b etc etc. Quite frankly there might be a better way but in the end I simply printed a set of the list and used excel to accept a 8 digit input and automatically display it by coloring cells... Very primitive but did the job. Finally we get:
```
