Can you explain how to enter the answer in 0,1 format? I mean do we have to use spaces?

Hello,

The solution consists only of zeros and ones. Do not use any other characters. It could be]

I hope you can solve this challenge!

I have calculated the frequencies of the bigrams and changed the binary string to match the given frequencies but still my answer is wrong. Do I miss something else?

Hello, I think I dont understand this chalange clearly. Can someone help me with it? When 0 is x or y and 1 is z, why the solution are not the letters changed for appropriate numbers. (0 for every x and y, 1 for every z)?

Hi Garnet,

'0' replacing by 'x' or 'y' and '1' replacing by 'z' is an example.
You have to find out by which character(s) '0' was replaced and by which character(s) '1' was replaced.

I hope this clears things up.

Hi,

the first part of your submission is correct, a second part is not. You're close!
