It took me a good twenty minutes, but then, I'm a total newbie at Ruby,
and I made about 5 different mistakes.  I mean, it took me a while to
even figure out ... Oh.  You know, I'm gonna have a hard time saying what
was hard about it for me without spoilers, huh.

I do have it working, though.  The idea was obvious, the implementation
slightly less so, and I'm Probably Doing It Wrong.
