I decided to work on an old quiz.

Here is what I came up with:
---------------------------------------------------------
PLACES = 100_000

euler = 0
big_one = 10**(PLACES+5)
nxt_one = big_one
n = 1

while (nxt_one != 0)
n += 1
nxt_one /= n
euler += nxt_one
end

puts "2."+euler.to_s[0..PLACES-1]
---------------------------------------------------------

It ended up looking a lot like Jay's solution.
