Task 1 - Decode this message
A message has been encoded using ASCII. Use the ‘ASCII character set’ handout to help you
decode the message.

01001001 00100000 01001100 01001111 01010110 01000101 00100000

CHALLENGE TASK
Use the ASCII table to write your own name below:
Task - Decode the facts
Below are some key facts surrounding the ASCII character set. Use the ‘ASCII character set’
handout to help you to decode the facts.

Text to decode:
The 01000001 01010011 01000011 01001001 01001001 character set originally used
00110111 bits. Now, it uses 00111000 bits. The encoding has stayed the same, but with an
additional 00110000 added in at the beginning. Having 8 01100010 01101001 01110100
01110011 means that there are 00110001 00110010 00111000 possible characters that can
be represented. This includes all of the letters in the 01000101 01101110 01100111
01101100 01101001 01110011 01101000 alphabet, punctuation, and numbers. There are
also additional bit patterns for 01101110 01101111 01101110-printing characters.

Decoded text:
The __________ character set originally used ____ bits. Now, it uses ____ bits.
The encoding has stayed the same, but with an additional ____ added in at the
beginning. Having 8 ________ means that there are ________ possible
characters that can be represented. This includes all of the letters in the
__________ alphabet, punctuation, and numbers. There are also additional bit
