Puzzle 109
During the recent BrainBashers cipher convention, a binary code contest took place.
The contest consisted of a binary code transmission where the spaces between the letters were missing and there was no punctuation.
Each letter of the alphabet was translated into its binary equivalent based on its position in the alphabet. The resulting code was then blocked in groups of five digits.
a=1, b=10, c=11, d=100, e=101, f=110, g=111, h=1000, i=1001, j=1010, k=1011, l=1100, m=1101, n=1110, o=1111, p=10000, q=10001, r=10010, s=10011, t=10100, u=10101, v=10110, w=10111, x=11000, y=11001, z=11010

Last week my wife and I found ourselves stranded on an island, oops!
Unfortunately, we were also stranded with our two sons, with no clear means of rescue.
Luckily, I came across an old rickety boat which I knew could carry either one adult or two children.
How did I rescue my family?
