This is indeed a creative solution. You are presuming, though, that the SAS's in your
Life world will understand you. The only way you can know this is if you had encoded
their language/communication channel beforehand in a Turing fashion. You would also
have to anticipate the answer(s) they would give you. If they do not understand you or
simply ignore you, the asking test fails.
