When reading the story, you know that the code has been created by humans, so it might actually be english and use concepts like our number system, our computer code system (I'm thinking ASCII), things that you should not assume when decoding a real alien message.

Looking at the numbers I notice that digits 6 to 9 do not occur in the message, which is statistically unexpected. This leads me to believe the number base might be 6 rather than our common base 10. In the story there are insects mentioned. Insects have 6 legs, so this makes sense (after all, our base 10 was based on the number of fingers).

Next, I notice the code 052 appearing regularly, so that could be a space. Let's check a hypothesis. 052 in base 6 is 5*6+2 = 32. 32 is the ASCII code for a space!!

Now, a decoding algorithm is ready to be devised:

"for each number in the sequence, parse it as a base-6 number and then print out its corresponding ASCII value".

The following node.js snippet does this:

var code = ['220','241','255','245','052','313',

           '311','052','312','303','052','312',

           '252','245','052','205','241','251',

           '253','243','052','203','253','302',

           '251','244','303','301','053'];

           

var msg = "";

for (let n of code) {

   msg += String.fromCharCode(parseInt(n,6));

}

console.log(msg);


And the message is.........:

<em>Take us to the Magic Kingdom!</em>

So, do these aliens want to visit Disneyland????

What is the definition of overflow in binary?
asambeis [7]
Overflow occurs when the magnitude of a number exceeds the range allowed by the size of the bit field. The sum of two identically-signed numbers may very well exceed the range of the bit field of those two numbers, and so in this case overflow is a possibility.

Careful driving requires appropriate reaction time, both simple and complex. Braking and then shifting gears, followed by signal
QveST [7]
The correct answer is complex.
There are two types of reaction times when it comes to driving - simple and complex. Simple reaction time refers to your action after receiving some sort of a stimulus - when you see the red light, you are supposed to break. When it comes to complex reaction time, however, it has to do with your assessment of the situation, and realization what it is you have to do in order to avoid an accident, for example.
