What is Ruby Quiz?

Ruby Quiz is a weekly programming challenge for Ruby programmers in the spirit of the Perl Quiz of the Week. A new Ruby Quiz is sent to the Ruby Talk mailing list each Friday.

Currently there are 111 programming challenges archived on the site, each one with a detailed problem description and discussions of the possible solutions.

Sure, it’s in Ruby and not Python, but that doesn’t matter. Tonight I took a shot at Quiz #1 which involves working with the Solitaire Cipher (aka Pontifex). Not counting the silly little mistakes I made along the way, it was a pretty straight forward project… and rather fun.

My code works, but it’s far too messy to post (~168 lines). I’ll try to clean it up over the weekend and post it next week.
