A Few Percent

I solved this puzzle but something is still nagging me. What do the %'s mean.
i.e %66%78 etc.

Are they just a delimiter or something else.? Google isn't being helpful and its driving me crazy. A hint of where to look maybe? or was this just made up for the site?

My tiny ruby solution:

Code: Select all

input = "%66%75%67%6C%79"
extension = input.scan(/[0-9A-Z]{2,2}/)
extension.map! { |x| x.hex.chr }
output = extension.join
puts output
