If we're golfing, here's my amateur golf attempt: *chuckle*
s=0;'2011'.chars{|x|s+=x.to_i};s
And another four chars gone! Well done! Just goes to show, using
typical Ruby idioms doesn't always yield (no pun intended) the
shortest code, nor the fastest.
(Are we allowing semicolons?)
Sure, why not. I'll even allow carriage returns, counting them as one char.

Cuuuuute. If we restrict it to years we've had so far (CE), okay.
