There's some discussion on recommended "easier" ruby quizzes here:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby/browse_thread/thread/56715eaf2f9a657/5739f21adceca0d1?lnk=gst&q=easier+ruby+quiz#5739f21adceca0d1

I don't think there's any shame in looking at "the answers" after
you've given the quiz a good try yourself -- on the contrary, reading
other peoples code is an excellent way to learn. Ruby quiz solutions
can be small enough to understand in their entirety, unlike the code-
base of a large open source project, for example.

Good luck,

Chris
