'Binrary' sounds like 'binary'. That's why he wrote 'kind of like binrary'.

And tommyrae - the answer is no.

Why would i want to ruin it for the rest of the people who wanted to solve it?

ok the second line describes the first line.

in the first line there is a 1.

the second line says "there is one 1."

third line says "there is 2 ones."

and such a progression to an infinite number of digits...
