Hmmm...

12 pie slices. 8 levels of "information" in each slice, each composed of 4 possible combination (no cuts, cut on left, cut on right, or two cuts). 4 combinations=2 binary bits. That makes 16 bits of information per pie slice, X12 = 192 total bits of information.

192 bits is enough to encode a 24 character message in ASCII, or (if using a more efficient coding scheme) up to maybe a short paragraph of text.

Of course, it could all be random, or something mathematical instead of text.

I love mysteries like this! ;D

I for one enjoy the beauty without the mystery........I don't care how many branches are there on a tree.........I just enjoy the tree.

I scannned that image into my bitmap interositer and converted the output to ASCII. This is what came out (very strange):

BOOK IS AN ULTRADEEP ADL DOUBLE AGENT NAMED YEHUDI SHMEUL

Can anyone interpret this?

A new crop at Wilton Windmill on May 22, 2010 broke new grounds of expression between the crop artists and ourselves, in terms of the sophistication and coding level of their message. Thus it showed a series of 12 x 8 binary digits in standard 8-bit ASCII code (see ASCII), repeated in duplicate within various parts of the message. When translated into modern English, those 96 binary digits give the result:

e ^ (hi)pi) 1 = 0

On our planet, the famous "Euler Identity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_identity)" from complex mathematics is often written in abbreviated form as (see Euler's_identity):

e ^ (i pi) + 1 = 0

Thus their crop-based message shows two slight differences from what we call the "Euler Identity". First, it does not seem to contain a "plus sign" on the right. Yet if those crop artists were not perfectly familiar with all aspects of our ASCII code, they could easily have written "right parentheses" for "plus" by a single one-bit error. In which case, the crop formula would become:

e ^ (hi)pi + 1 = 0

which is a close fit to our Euler Identity. The second difference is that they seem to write our complex imaginary symbol "i" as "hi".

Many modern scientists and mathematicians regard that Euler Identity to be the "most beautiful mathematical formula ever" (see Leonhard_Euler), or the "greatest equation ever" (see Euler's_identity). It follows as a special case from Euler's more general formula:

e ^ (i x) = cos (x) + i sin (x)

when x = pi.
