Meowing the Optimization of Morse
🐈 Would I meow to you that there was a cat sitting right behind you?

- If there are 2 or less indicators, turn each letter in the serial number into its numeric position in the alphabet (A=1, B=2,..., Z=26) and calculate their total sum. Subtract the sum of “M”, “E”, “0(zero)”, and “W” in the serial number from the total, and then modulo it by 3. Go to the 4th step.
- Otherwise, get the first three indicators in alphabetical order. For each indicator, take the first letter if it is lit and the third letter if it is unlit to make a 3-letter word. If the word is “CAT”, set the target tone to the middle tone and skip to the next section.
- Turn each letter in the word into its numeric position in the alphabet (A=1, B=2,..., Z=26) and calculate the total sum. Subtract the number of vowels in the serial number from this sum, and then modulo it by 3.
- If the final number is 0, the initial-meow tone is low; if the final number is 1, the initial-meow tone is middle. Otherwise, the initial-meow tone is high.
- Listen for the amount of meows heard before each rest to determine the target tone and phrase. Compare the target tone with the initial-meow tone. If they are the same, swap dashes with dots and vice versa when inputting.
- To input breaks between letters, press the right ear if the last SN digit is even or left otherwise. Use the up and down arrows on the right to adjust the current tone.
- To submit, tap the top-right button. To reset inputs, hold the top-right button until the button turns white.
