I've been considering this for a quiz. I'm currently in the process
of solving it myself, to prove it's not too much work. My free time
is scarce currently though, so if you beat me to a solution mail it
to me, along with a count of how many hours it took to build...

Parsing English is what I wrote my thesis on at university. I wonder
if a general purpose English tokenizing and parsing library would be
of any use to anyone. I'm thinking of taking it up again.
I would LOVE to see a pure Ruby library for something like this. I
can't imagine it wouldn't get used.
Unfortunately I think I'd have to do it in C. My linguistic skills
aren't good enough to take a purely grammatical approach. I'd need to
take a learning approach. The parser I wrote at university took 72
hours to process the input corpus which it learned all the rules from.
I'd hate to think how long this would take in pure ruby. Writing this
as a ruby extension would be the way to go. For me at least anyway.

I've checked lambdas and I think it's not possible also to pass more than one proc as parameter to a method also? I used hash instead
You can pass any number of them as normal params:
def block_test(b1,b2)
b1.call
b2.call
end
b1 = lambda { puts "one" }
b2 = lambda { puts "two" }
block_test(b1,b2)
=> one
two

I have countless uses for such a parser, I'm sure many other do too!
Very interesting project, keep us informed.
