It's life, Doc... but not as we know it.

What on earth does '5 by 5' mean?!?!

 

[Darkness]

do you see any signs of intellgient life ?

Judging from the posts so far, no.

 

[RingXero]

What on earth does '5 by 5' mean?!?!

Defines how clear a signal is, and how stong/loud, on a scale of 1-5....

from the aviators glossary

Five by five is an expression used in aviation (and maybe other)
radio communication to indicate the quality and loudness of received voice
transmissions. Rated one to five indicates - first figure - clearness and -
second - loudness. Five by five means that a transmission is received clear
and loud (in clear words usually loud and clear is used...). One by one, on
the other hand, means it can hardly be heard and is not understandable. If
you have a loud but distorted transmission, you may hear two by five, and a
weak but clearly understandable one may be called five by three... The
definition of this must be included somewhere in a radiotelephony document
of ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation)

5 x 5 ...

The phrase really entered the slang lingo thanks to Faith from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

She'd say weird stuff, "Yeah, B. Five by five." The rest of the characters had no idea what she was saying, and at one point, Willow even goes into a rant about it to Tara.

And this is your Buffy trivia for the day!
SWOOSH!
