Bruce and I spent a ton of time on blocks including syntax and use.   
We didn't go over much ruby code, so I don't think he's had enough  
exposure to blocks to see how they're commonly used.

It didn't come across in the writeup very well, but blocks was  
something Bruce wanted lots of information on.
