If you want to get the index couple, you could do something like this:

  def index_biarray(biarray,obj)
    index1 = biarray.index {|a| a.include?(obj)}
    index2 = biarray[index1].index(obj)
    return index1,index2
  end

and to check the behavior:

  time = [["valuea","a",100],["valueb","b",200],["valuec","c",300]]

  puts index_biarray(time,"valuea").join(',')
  puts index_biarray(time,200).join(',')
  puts index_biarray(time,'c').join(',')

Cheers,
