Hi,

thistimelastmonth = Date.today << 1
lastmonth = thistimelastmonth.month
answer = Date::MONTHNAMES[month]

I wouldn't recommend that you use those variable names, but hopefully
you get the idea.

Your example looks cool :)

I took the liberty to change it to a one liner.

Date::MONTHNAMES[(Date.today << 1).month] # => "July"
