redpwn claims to have invented an unbreakable "trinity encoding."
Security by obscurity!

NB: This challenge does not use the flag{...} format. The flag is only lowercase letters.
Hint: The encoding is so simple, even your grandma knows about it!
Interpret the three numbers as morse code with the following mapping:
'0': '.', '1': '-', '2': ' '
The resulting morse code:
- . .-. -. .- .-. -.-- .. ... -- --- .-. . .- .-. -.-. .- -. . -... ..- - .. -... . - -.-- --- ..- - .... --- ..- --. .... - --- ..-. .. - ..-. .. .-. ... -
Decode it with some online decoder gives the flag.
