Just pasted a small correction to that last pastie.

AND... if you don't care what order the people are in, you could
actually do this:

   def self.run
     spies = get_people_from_file.sort_by { rand }
     spies.each_with_index do |spy,i|
       puts "Person #{spy} spies on Person #{spies[i-1]}"
     end
   end

That randomizes the array up front, and then just pairs people as
spy/spyee. Given that approach, you don't need to test for spyability.
