Subject: 4 random numbers take highest 3 and add them together.

I want to get 4 random numbers. The numbers will be between 1-6. I want
to disregard the smallest number and add the three biggest numbers
together. So far I wrote some ruby that I thought would do this but I
keep getting an error.

statsrand = 0
while statsrand == 0
stats1a = (rand(6) + 1)
stats1b = (rand(6) + 1)
stats1c = (rand(6) + 1)
stats1d = (rand(6) + 1)
gstats1a = 0
gstats1b = 0
gstats1c = 0
gstats1d = 0
when (stats1a>stats1b) | (stats1a>stats1c) | (stats1a>stats1d)
  gstats1a = stats1a
when (stats1b>stats1a) | (stats1b>stats1c) | (stats1b>stats1d)
  gstats1b = stats1b
when (stats1c>stats1b) | (stats1c>stats1a) | (stats1c>stats1d)
  gstats1c = stats1c
when (stats1d>stats1b) | (stats1d>stats1c) | (stats1d>stats1a)
  gstats1d = stats1d

mstr = gstats1a + gstats1b + gstats1c + gstats1d

I cant find where the error is...
