Hint: 0 = 0. but 1 = 27, the line breaks don't matter, and the answer has four letters.

Somehow, I don't think "zomo" is the answer for Gamer's problem, unless he happens to have a bad case of dandruff. It seems too random.

I reread Mindrod's method on how the initial problem names where discovered and applied this method on the binary strings I have.

11010 11110 11010 01111
11010 01111 01101 01111 adding a zero in front and taking one away at the end leads to:

01101 01111 01101 00111 and
01101 00111 10110 10111 translating them to letters gives

M O M G and

M G V W

Both of these results are not really better then "zomo".
