Put these lines in the appropriate places:

tries = 0

...

tries = tries + 1

...

puts "You took #{tries} attempt(s)"

BTW your code could do with some trimming, but if it works that's the 
first thing :-) Some suggestions:

* no need for inner while loops, the outer while loop handles it for 
you.

if condition1
  ...
elsif condition2
  ...
else
  ...
end

* Move the bits which are common (prompting for the next attempt) to 
outside of this section, since they're the same in all cases
