OK thanks hencethus! I'll certainly keep that in mind for future katas

Ok thanks rayning for clearing that up with me. I'm very green to Ruby so I'm still trying to get a grasp on how things work with the language (Learning it for my new job I recently was hired to). I wasn't aware gems were foul game as I just recently learned about them (job uses many of them) but I definitely understand where you were getting at. The question itself didn't say anything about not being able to use them but I will keep that in mind for the future. Thanks again! I will try to come up with another solution

I think I have found a correct solution for this kata. It works in irb but doesn't work when I try to run it on here...Was wondering if there was someone that could verify my code to point out something I'm overlooking
