Thanks Gavin. That's always been my number one goal for Ruby Quiz: To
provide a useful resource for the community.
For what it's worth, I do think code cleaning is a valuable exercise.
I enjoyed solving this quiz and learned a few tricks myself. If and
when the IORCC teams gets around to hosting the opposite contest, I
strongly encourage everyone to give it a shot.
