[Sonja pulls up a binary translator app all the same to give it a try. Yeah, no dice. Its definitely a code of some kind though. C'mon Sonja put all those cryptography classes to good use.]
Nope, not Hex either. Maybe a substitution? Numbers seem to be divided into groups of 3, so the first group is a three letter word composed of 002, 003 and 005. This is supported by the single letter 023 later on, and the ubiquity of 0s.
Lets see if we can find the highest value number. Hrm, it seems actually, that the numbers continue to grow as the code continues. This seems to throw a wrench into the substitution plan. Perhaps its not a cipher at all, perhaps its a mathematical progression.
Lets map the progression of numbers letter to letter.
Well that wasn't too helpful. We do see a trend break out though - the progression is always in a factor of two (except for that first 3), although we have two outliers that break into double digits. We can simplify that by replacing the double digits with hex numbers.
212 2 4242 4 62642 466264264 68 42424E 462A2 664
Could we be dealing with a cipher there individual digits mean multiple letters?
[She keys in a few substitutions but gives up. She searches around to see if anyone else has thrown some input into the code.]
Prime example.
Prime.
