Is it a cut-and-paste issue with your terminal? Try putting it all in
a file, say foo, and then running

  ruby foo

from the command line or

  load 'foo'

from the irb prompt.

I hope this helps,

Yes it was a cut-and-paste nasty.

Thanks,

Pretty easy (except drawing the tree :). Write the source-code first, then base64 encode it, and insert newlines/whitespace to make the picture.

The basic way of bubbling up characters is shamelessly stolen from a
similar obfu I saw at perlmonks, btw.

Oh, it shows, does it?

I did go through this slick tutorial

which does a such a fine job of explaining basic Lisp that I could readily parse your correction of my ersatz jumble of parens.

You probably won't find a lot of practical use for it, but Lisp ought
to be learned by everyone.
