Subject: Re: [QUIZ] Negative Sleep (#87)

Hi,

I am a beginner, so please forgive my newbish skills :)
I just discovered RubyQuiz, I think it is a great idea, and I thought 
about submitting  my own solution.
I haven't given an alternative interpretation of sleep, I just used the 
first definition I read there.

Maybe you could tell what can I do to make it more ruby-ish ? :)
 

    class Computation
        def initialize(&computation)
            @comp = []
            @comp << computation
            @rev = 0
        end

        def run
            @comp.each do |runnable|
                if runnable.kind_of? Computation
                    runnable.run
                else
                    runnable.call
                end
            end
        end

        def +(ref)
            t = self
            ref.instance_eval { add_myself(t) }
            self
        end

        protected
        def add_myself(target)
            ref = self
            target.instance_eval do   
                if @rev == 0
                    @comp << ref
                else
                    @comp.unshift ref
                    @rev -= 1
                end
            end
        end
    end

    class Sleep < Computation
        alias old_init initialize
        alias old_add_myself add_myself
        attr_reader :seconds

        def initialize(seconds)
            old_init do   sleep(seconds > 0 ? seconds : -seconds); end
            @seconds = seconds
        end

        protected
        def add_myself(target)
            ref = self
            target.instance_eval do
                @rev = 2 if ref.kind_of? Sleep and ref.seconds < 0
            end
            old_add_myself(target)
        end
    end
