The problem consists of five numbers in hexadecimal (base 16). When converted to binary, they read

1110111001110011001001010001
0100100100100100101010001010
0100111000100100001100000100
0100101000100100101010000100
0100100101110011001001000100

The arrangement of ones in this matrix spells out “TRICKY”.
