It works fine, but it will always assign the new array to the same 
variable.

One idea is to create an array, and then add arrays as elements.

main_array = Array.new
(1..10).times { main_array << Array.new }

This may do what you want, but there may also be a more Ruby-ish way, 
depending on why you need those arrays.
