Bits & pieces

This started as a test script while I was learning about bit operations, and it slowly evolved into an obfuscated JAPH. I know it exceeds the traditional "4 line rule", but I thought that it would be fun to limit the digits used to only 0 and 1, given the theme. It was not golfed in any way.

Enjoy!

Hint: the bit shifts are fun, but they aren't the main point of the obfuscation.

Good job! Included below is an explanation of this JAPH which is a bit (ba-dum-bum) more verbose. Your analysis hit on the big points, but I wanted to fill in some of the more subtle reasoning. <Reveal this spoiler or all in this thread>	[reply] [d/l] [select]
