Hello People,

The subject says it all: I will consider myself a real Ruby  
programmer with I am able to answer the quiz questions you post here  
every week.

Going through the previous quizzes’ answers, I just cannot believe  
how knowledgeable some people in this list are.

I find you guys very inspiring.

So… thank you. And… I’ll see you at the next quiz.

Bye,

Merc.

If you can’t, that’s my fault, not yours!

I have rejected many quizzes because I said they were “too  
easy”. 🙂 I am probably not very good at remembering to cover all  
ends of the spectrum. I’m trying to get better though, I promise.

Also, don’t be fooled by this week’s quiz. People solved it in under  
20 lines sure, but it require a fair amount of knowledge about the  
workings of Ruby to do so.

Now, do you have a problem that you have been able to solve and felt  
like you learned something in the process? You know your skill level  
better than I do and I’m sure there are others out there close to  
it. Send me your problems and I will try them:

That’s no lie. You wouldn’t believe how much I learn each week just  
running the quiz!

Tomorrow’s quiz isn’t too hard, if you have familiarity with the  
problem domain. The quiz for a week from tomorrow though is easy  
enough that I want to see all beginners working it! 😉
