Cool! It looks a bit like a person kneeling, with a picture on the wall behind his head.

I don't understand the code at all. How do you get 8, in the first place. If you could explain that, I might figure the rest. I understand that H is the 8th letter. I don't understand how 8 is in the puzzle.

Yup, stupid me, I left out a 1. The last row was changed to 01111.

"2^3 + 2^2 + 2^1 = 4+2+1 =7 (corresponding to G)"
Is it sure???? In Europe, 2^3=8, 2^2=4, 2^1=2, so I see it to 8+4+2=14 ...
Yes, I know, You're living in a country, where FOOT-BALL is played by throwing an egg! :))))

Brian had an off-by-one error in his exponents. He means

2^2 + 2^1 + 2^0 = 4+2+1 = 7

And American footballs are not egg-shaped. They are closer to a prolate spheroid (Rugby and Canadian Footballs are prolate spheriods) but are more pointed, with a cross section more like a lens or a vesica piscis, which is the intersection of two circles of equal radius drawn such that the center of one is on the perimeter of the other.

Oblate spheroid is more fun to say, though I don't know how accurate the term may be.

An egg with pointy ends just seems painful for the mama bird.

Thanks for the edit Jan.

If you rotate a parabola on an axis perpendicular to the axis of symmetry you get somthing similar to an American football. I think if you rotate it about the symmetry axis it is called a paraboloid (what people commonly refer to as parabolic as in "parabolic mirror"). This might be called a paraboloid too.
