I came to this quiz late, but came up with the following, before
reading the solution, which uses String.tr to do the double and sum
instead of an array.

require 'enumerator'
def luhn(string)
  string.scan(/./).reverse.enum_for(:each_with_index).inject(0) do
|sum, (digit, index)|
    digit = digit.tr('0123456789', '0246813579') if index % 2 == 1
    sum += digit.to_i
  end # % 10 == 0
end

After seeing the neat use of each_slice instead of each_with_index

def luhn(string)
  string.scan(/./).reverse.enum_for(:each_slice, 2).inject(0) do |sum, (d1, d2)|
    sum += d1.to_i + (d2||'0').tr('0123456789', '0246813579').to_i
  end  % 10 == 0
end

No need to define any extra Enumerator methods.
