Of course you did -- were you expecting ruby to automagically figure
out what '2' refers to? ;)

'next' just exits the innermost enclosing loop. To break out of
multiple loops, you want catch/throw, used like this:

catch(:done) {
  list.each { |entry|
    list2.each { |entry2|
      throw :done if true
    }
  }
}
