: Actually it's a Ruby subtlety, in this case :-)  Tobi knows about the
: blank line.  He was trying to get two \n's out of puts by putting one
: in explicitly (note that he uses puts in the first case, print in the
: second).  But see my other response -- the \n gets stripped by puts.

Problem of reading the question too fast :)

Forgive me,
