[SOLVED] analogue and digital question (really urgent!)

Homework Statement


Hi all; I've got a question:

Two mobile phone signals were sent a bit at a time along the same wire but the bits didn't get separated. They produced the text message below. What message was being carried by each signal?

The Attempt at a Solution


I've tried things like: Message 1: so r u ok? Message 2:no u
I know my attempts pathetic, but that's why i came here for! and my attempt may be completely off the mark anyway. I'd really appreciate it if u helped.

This is...a physics problem?

You had Message 1 right except an extraneous 'so', I don't know how you got it right and failed to see #2. It's...hard to help and not just give it to you outright but take that as your help I guess: Message 1 is r u ok?

#1: r u ok?

#2: c u soon
 
Ok i think I've got it :)

thanks a lot blochwave
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
