1. google search for "binary translator": 0.5 seconds
2. copy-pasting the binary into the form field on the webpage: 1.0 seconds
3. reading the decoded text: 1.0 seconds.

so, 2.5 seconds, you snotty poop. just kidding. i love you.

by the way, the question reads:

How long did it take you to decode this binary statement?

...in binary. the first letter is H, or 000001001001000. computers thrive on text characters, and every character can be mapped to a specific binary sequence.

this is like that "asses get creme?" anagram question. i wonder how many more of these i'll get.

i really don't want to go to work tomorrow. my brain fizzles after eight hours of driving. driving comprises a decent cognitive load. this is why you hear of people saying they get tired from driving -- it's mental exhaustion.
