I don't have an app on my phone to read this. Does it connect to anything?

My phone isn't recognizing it, I think it just looks like one.

Disappointing.

It was still fun even though it might not point to the PBN site. I like the QR codes as several years ago we started putting up signs on our historical sites for our museum with a simple picture, a few words of text and a QR code. This was MUCH cheaper than a lot of bronze plaques. Now people mostly just look it up on their phones, rather than use the QR code, but they are still useful.

Joanne, this one is too small to have all the details necessary to be an actual QR code.

That said, the minimal version was kind of fun to solve, even though I knew it wouldn't impart any meaningful information. :)

To be a real QR code, each of those three squares would have to have a black square in the center. There are several different sizes of QR codes, encoding anything from a few numbers in a small one to a long string of text in the larger ones.
