the answer seems to be teasing my brain..

I guess it's a variation to "Congrats, you won!" or something. Still, I believe "alas" should have been "At last".

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.

[Rocket Man]

try writing base thirteen... it's very difficult without making up new figures.

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"

[playdo]

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...

[Rocket Man]

or it's alas as in "alas the code was broken"

[Bluenoise]

i think that's just the way people have made it sound and used in coversation.

 

And isn't that what connotations are?

[playdo]

oh sry, im an idiot.

 

 

the point is i wanted it to sound like a congrats.
