Awesome! I’ll give it a shot. Thank you. Just need see big displays I guess. ---

I love that everyone in this thread agrees this is probably a bad idea, but can’t resist working the problem anyways 😄 > **[Nerd Sniping](https://xkcd.com/356/)** > > I first saw this problem on the Google Labs Aptitude Test. A professor and I filled a blackboard without getting anywhere. Have fun. ---

I think the effort put into doing this warrants selling this image as an NFT. Any buyers? ---

I built a viewer for our semiconductor wafer maps (upwards of 250k per wafer). We take the input data from a raw results file (txt, int data) and build a SVG using ElementTree to make the xml, convert the resulting SVG to base64 and display it inline in Perspective. Works great (and just about the only way of not crashing the client/gateway). I did try the image route, but ultimately found SVG more flexible and better performance. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/7/77812bc1c4e0cfd9320c6477c0de3a4fb19114ed.jpeg) ---

I bid $10,000,000 "Peter Dollars"™ (1) * * * (1) "Peter Dollars"™ are a brand new virtual currency that I designed solely for the purchase of NFTs. The main characteristic is that the exchange rate with fiat currencies is both arbitrary and capriciously in my favor at all times. ---

Marked @JordanCClark as the solution, but thanks everyone for the help! Got it working today. Now for the team to decide how to display this in a way that is meaningful (as several of you pointed out as a flaw).
