On the Subject of Meowmorse
🐈 Is there a CAT indicator on the bomb?
- This module looks like a Metamorse module, but the hexagonal button has triangle ears. Pressing the top right button plays a song containing a series of meows of a cat. The song decodes to a message 3 to 6 letters long in Morse code. There are long pauses between letters. Decode the song by following the rules below:
- 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 number 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-meow 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 target-meow is low tone. If the final number is 1, the target-meow is middle tone. Otherwise, the target-meow is high tone.
- Press the display to play the sound of a short middle tone meow.
- For each received meow from the song, use the table below to turn them into a sequence of dots and dashes. Use the column that applies to the pitch of the received meow compared to the target-meow and the row that matches the length of the received meow.
