Please do your homework yourself rather than sending countless emails  
to the list with each of your assignments.

The obvious error is that if we do your work for you, you learn nothing.

Are you even _trying_ to solve these? How are you studying Ruby to be  
posed  
these problems? If you’ve got classes then I’d suggest paying more  
attention  
in them; if you’re studying on your own, have you read all the materiel?  
I’m  
sure the answers have all been covered.

If you’re finding it difficult, then maybe the course is not for you,  
because if you were working on a real project, the problems are not so  
contrived, and the answers aren’t so obvious.

For this specific problem; consider (or Google) the difference between  
assignment and comparison operators in Ruby.
