[HTS fan] ??? on a ext. basic mission

http://www.hackthissite.org/missions/extbasic/1

this is the code supplied the goal is to overload the buffer
void blah(char *str) { char lol[200]; strcpy(lol, str); }
obviously not written in a realistic programming language but has been hinted at
that it may be easily solved using C I have asked around and I would still like to know how to complete but I would like to understand how and why it works.

I have compiled info. leading towards using a string over 200 to overload the buffer any hints or even a spoiler (with explanations) is appreciated.

You haven't really given enough information, but from what you said, all you'd need to do is pass a 201-length char[].
wouldnt the easiest route to use a strcpy and just have it copy 201 times
I just included an answer of 200+ characters.
