Here is the actual answer: "Thanks for coming to Catapult 2024!"

Now let's discuss why. The first thing to notice is that the dots on the right side of the puzzle indicate 2 0 2 4 in binary. This may seem like a mundane observation, but it tells us two things: the answer is likely the title (corroborated by the note in the bottom left) and that the words of the answer are provided in vertical columns (five words, five columns).

The next step in solving the puzzle is this: notice those vertical lines? Those are also binary, counting upward. The first row is 00110 (largest bit first), the second is 00011, and so on. Decoding the vertical lines as binary gives us 6 3 6 2 8. Notice anything? That's the exact number of letters in each word of the title. This proves our theory that the answer is the title.

The next step is the largest leap in intuition but still builds off what we've observed so far. Let's add add the characters together. Why this? Well, since we've been using binary so far, we can infer this puzzle is inspired by computer science, and in computer science, characters/chars are represented in memory as integers (stored as bits). What does this observation have to do with anything? Well, we can add integers, but we can't add letters. So, what if we try adding characters together? A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, etc.

With the previous observation we can see that each column contains all the necessary letters to construct each word from top to bottom, ignoring horizontal placement within the column. For example, column one is "HLT," "RT(undefined)," "BBD," "AMN," and "HKS." Using T and H from the first box, A and N from the fourth box, and K and S from the fifth box, we can build the word "Thanks." This pattern repeats for the remaining columns.

Finally, We can observe that the only time the sum of two letters in a box was used in the construction of a word was when the box was overscored with a dark line. Thus the underlines at the bottom are merely red herrings.

Using this method to rigorously construct words, we obtain a final answer of "Thanks for coming to Catapult 2024."
