LONDON, UK  [Monday Jun.13.2005]  /Mix103FM.com/ -- If you've seen the cover for Coldplay's new album "X&Y," you may be wondering what, if anything, the colored blocks on the front mean.

Even though it may you remind you of Tetris, it's actually not an arty picture of the video game. And it's also not a graphical representation of DNA, as some have guessed.

So what is it then?

The Baudot code.

Say what?

MTV.com reports that the cover of Coldplay's latest album shows a message written in a revised version of the Baudot code, an early form of telegraph communication made up of ones and zeroes. The Baudot code was developed in 1874 and was used for 70 years before the Morse code eventually replaced it in the mid-twentieth century.

If you look in the liner notes for "X&Y," you'll find a chart with an update of the Baudot alphabet. The ones and zeroes originally used in the code have been changed to vertical arrangements of colored blocks. Use this chart to crack Coldplay's cover code.

So what does the cover say?

Simply, "X&Y."
