Rocket Man Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 the answer seems to be teasing my brain.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndi Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I guess it's a variation to "Congrats, you won!" or something. Still, I believe "alas" should have been "At last". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playdo Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 thank you refsmat, this is the brain teasers forum, i simply made up the whole thing. Alas does mean at last. And thank you for clearing up my mistakes, inever wrote binary before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Man Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 try writing base thirteen... it's very difficult without making up new figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluenoise Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Alas does mean at last. really? I thought Alas has negative connotations to it, kind of like "unfortunatley we now have a winner" . While "at last" was supposed to be possitive, like "Yes! finally a winner" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playdo Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 i think that's just the way people have made it sound and used in coversation.it's kind of like how a pimp used to be a bad thing and now it isn't i guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
