Skill testing question

Post by Enlightenment »

Pretend a Little Green Man flew a UFO over your house and dropped a sheet of paper on your lawn. You look at the paper and see http://web.newsguy.com/wildepad/primer1.JPG

If you can figure out what the message is, the Little Green Man will come back and reward you with a fully-functional interstellar spacecraft.

Can anyone here win the prize? :)
It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.

The top line is the numbers, from 0-8. The second line is 1+1=2. The next 9 sets are addition tables covering every addition possibility from 0-8 that adds up to 8 or less. The very bottom is principles, showing that 0+(A+B)=A+B, A+B=A+B, and (C+D)+(A+B)=(A+B)+(C+D).
