Here are some of I learned from everyone: 1) everything is object,so all are method calls (to_i, to_f, each, ...) . 2)open class even for Integer, String... ,.3) method chain , 4) .yield and code block and more.

It's funny how, with everybody's answers on how to make the Ruby code 
faster, what you got out of it was the flexibility of Ruby. That's 
'cause Ruby's the man. Also 'cause, apparently, speed isn't your only 
concern.

Sorry. Don't really have anything to say here. Just was glad to see you 
got your priorities straight. Ruby *is* beatiful. :)

OK, I promise. My next post will be informative or helpful or something.
