It seems though that not all solutions make it to google groups.
Quite possible. From what I know, there are issues from time to time with the bridge between the newsgroup and the mailing list. As far as I've seen on the mailing list (the authority?), there has been only one solution, from Robert Dober.

If anyone sees a specific message that didn't make it to Google Groups, please email me a link to the message in the mailing list archives.

That's all I've seen too.

I wasn't aware (well, I was to some extent but anyway) that there are
two versions of ruby-talk on google groups: as ruby-talk-google and as
comp.lang.ruby. For whatever reason Robert's solution isn't listed in
comp.lang.ruby, which I was subscribed to. It's listed in ruby-talk-
google though.
Interesting. I've looked into this a bit and I'm afraid I don't really know what happened here.
There's absolutely no record of Robert's message in the gateway logs at all. The gateway never saw the message to try to send it to comp.lang.ruby.
I'm guessing it wasn't successfully delivered to the gateway's mailbox, but I've never seen that before. I have no idea what went wrong here. Sorry.

My fault guys sorry!!!
I switched back to rich formating by inadvertence. That was a known
issue with gmail IIRC.
Here it goes again:
This was a nice quiz, maybe not too challenging, but as Tom put it
correctly the different codes can easily get mangled up. I have found
a solution that seems to handle the few testcases well, we will see if
it pleases ;).
My additional challenge was to make my solution work with HighLine,
Facets and Term::Ansicolor, and that is what I did :).
The solution can be found here too: http://pastie.org/333319
And to test all libraries simply type
> for i in term/ansicolor facets/ansicode highline; do ruby1.9
rd-185-sol.rb -f $i; done
> ruby1.9 rd-185-sol.rb
runs, transparently, with a random library of all registered
HYLI

Actually, I don't think it was. The gateway didn't seem to see the message at all and I have tried to improve it to handle those messages.
Something definitely went wrong here, but I don't believe it was anything you did.
Here it goes again:
It does seem that it was gated this time. I'll try to keep an eye on this in the future.
