Hi Gil,

IIRC in Ruby == on two strings measures whether they reference the same 
variable, not whether their value is the same. There's some string.equal() or 
something like that, that does what you want. I'd look it up but I'm about to 
begin a 1200 mile car trip with my family of 5 from Chicago to Orlando.
