3	01000010	64 + 2 = 66	B
4	01000010	64 + 2 = 66	B
5	01001001	64 + 8 + 1 = 73	I

Crack it with Python

Python can do the adding for you. int(code, 2) reads a string of 1s and 0s as a binary number. Then chr() turns the number into its character.

secret = [
    "01010010",
    "01000001",
    "01000010",
    "01000010",
    "01001001",
    "01010100",
]
message = ""
for code in secret:
    number = int(code, 2)
    message = message + chr(number)
print(message)

When you run it, it prints:

RABBIT
