I don't want to give away TOO much, but here is the shell of what you sho=
uld=20
have. The last part of the problem (having to shout BYE three times) is l=
eft as=20
an exercise to the reader.

# Initialize some variables.
text =3D ""
leave_message =3D "BYE"

# Welcome message.
puts "Well, hello, sonny!"

# Start loop.
while text !=3D leave_message
   text =3D gets.chomp
   if text =3D=3D text.upcase
     random =3D rand(21) + 1930
     puts "No, not since #{random}!"
   else
     puts "Huh?! Speak up, sonny!"
   end
end

HTH,
Dana
