Huh. The hex corresponded to 0s and 1s; I didn't think about that. It means "Your time was wasted."

How were you supposed to solve it? I noticed the pattern that there were only 30s and 31s, so I realised that the threes were duds, so I got 0s and 1s, painstakingly separated them into groups of 8, put that in a binary translator, put the hexadecimal in a translator, and then started using Wiktionary to figure out the words. I just tried Google Translate--it took what I got from the hexadecimal and made it into: "Your time will have you in vain are"
