    I don't get why "10001" should unumbiguously translate to ". ."

    The instructions state "
    if you have trouble discerning if the particular sequence of 1's is a dot or a dash, assume it's a dot.
    "
    But it does not say anything for a troubling sequence of 0.

    Here "000" can be a dot/dash separator with a bitrate of 3 or a letter separator with bitrate of 1 or a faulty word separator.

    I see from the answers that everyone assumes a letter separator...

    Besides, if the bit code does not make sense, it does not seem a good idea to fall back to an arbitrary decoding that would not make sense either. Why guessing? The program should instead gracefully fail IMO.

    A lot of simple problems together makes a complicated one, not a complex one...

    More frustating than challenging. The difficulty comes mainly from understanding the instructions that are quite counterintuitive.

    Since string is a standard module, it should not be used as a variable name, no?
