Isn't it funny how you can see when hard puzzles end just by looking at your winning probability stats? Or when there's been a huge GA with 100% chance of winning, like the 50K one that happened May 22nd with the 30 Impossible Levels. You can really see on my stats that I'm mostly entering low entry GAs, because that makes my chance of winning so much higher. I think I'm over 50% chance of winning more often than not, but sometimes I'm below 50% chance.

What are your win chance probabilities like?

Obvious Hint: This is a puzzle.
Less Obvious Hint: The person who took this screenshot must have been from the future, the blue graph stretches on further than today's date!
Sneaky Hint: Last sentence of the first paragraph tells you the important stuff.
Truthful Hint: This is my actual graph. Totally not as impressive as the puzzle one. Also, no relevance between my graph and the puzzle, so don't compare them. :)
Penultimate Hint: 40 dots for 5 symbols.
La Grande Finale hint: Steamgifts really is a black and white sort of place. Either you win or you don't. It's almost binary in that way. Kind of like being over 50% and below 50% win chance.

Solution: The dots in the blue part of the graph represent binary numbers. Above 50% = 1, Below 50% = 0. Binary to Ascii translation reveals the GA-code.

Yes I did, or not? Don't know. Seems my uploaded stats got messed up ;)

Edit: Lol, I just noticed without JS you get a different result. This thing was expected to be used with JS :)
