(skip long useless code and output)

Well, your code says this:

    nearValues.size.times do |i|
      n = nearValues[i]
      next if $hash2[n].include?(pivot)
      nearValues[i] = nil

That means, er. .. If the pivot is in $hash2[n], whatever that means, 
then go to the next number. Otherwise, if the pivot is not in $hash2[n], 
nearValues[i] is set to nil.
This, incidentally, is absolutely terrible Ruby, and I want to inflict a 
lot of pain to the person who wrote it.
