Hi everyone,

As I’ve been developing I’ve often visited this forum in search of  
answers, so thanks to everyone so far for that.

I just wanted to ask you real quick two things:

Is it ok for me to post newbie questions here? All the other threads  
(almost) are more advanced than I will probably be talking about here,  
so maybe I’m in the wrong place.

Secondly, how bad is it that it took me a minute to work out the simple  
“what does this ruby print out” question on sign up. I read the to\_s  
part but still answered 5.5 the first time around. That’s partly what  
inspired me to actually start this thread.

Thanks
