Well, to help you answer your original question.... Are you using an  
IDE? A problem that often occurs with Windows IDEs is that it will  
ask all of the gets() and then puts() them out. In other words, you  
may have a syncing issue going on.

STDOUT.sync = true

But, in the words of Avdi Grimm (sic), don't make a habit out of it.  
Synchronous output is a great way to slow down your code.
