1) The logic here has two parts, two sides of the or.
again != "y" #=> false
"n"          #=> true  because "n" his is not nil

So "false or true" will always be true.

2) Inside your while loop you never let the user reinput.  You need to 
add:
again = gets.chomp.downcase



Any of my above suggestions should work for the logic portion.  Here is 
an example, replace the above three lines with these four:

until again == "y" or again == "n" do
  puts "Would you like to enter a number again? y/n"
  again = gets.chomp.downcase
end
