Ruby does not implicitly convert Integers into Strings. You need to
explicitly tell Ruby this is what you are doing.

puts "Try #{finalnum} instead"

Inside double quoted strings, anything inside a #{ } delimiter is
treated as Ruby code, and it is evaluated by the interpreter and
converted into a string. So you could also write (as you did
originally)

puts "Try #{favnum + plus1} has the result."

Hope that makes sense. Oh, and welcome to Ruby!
