Just as I thought: Your code doesn’t run.
irb(main):088:0> fish_caught = sea.scan(%><}}}}*>)
irb(main):089:1"This works, though:
fish_caught = sea.scan("><}}}}*>")
/me supposes he’s taking this far too seriously…
IRB can’t handle the fish. It runs reel well using regular ruby command.
so your not fishing off the same platform?

Can someone explain what’s happening with the line, then? Is it using
the ‘>’ as the delimiter? So it’s sort of chopping off the “snout” of
each fish?
