First, you need to see how the code operates.

01001001 00100000 01100001 01101101 00100000 01100001 00100000 01100010 01100001 01101110 01100001 01101110 01100001 00100000 01101100 01101111 01101100 00100000 01101100 01101111 01101100 00100000 01101100 01101111 01101100 00101110 00100000 01000001 01110010 01100101 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00111111 00100000 01001001 00100000 01110100 01101000 01101001 01101110 01101011 00100000 01101110 01101111 01110100

Look at this code. What can you tell from it?

You may notice the code is in groups of 8.
You may also notice there is 51 groups in total.
Aswell as the fact it's pretty even.

Binary code is always in groups of 8.

"I am a banana lol lol lol. Are you? I think not" is the translation to the code.

That sentence is 51 letters. Concluding punctuation and spaces.

Noticed anything? 51 groups, and now 51 letters..

One group of binary code = 1 letter/space/punctuation.
