When I first uncovered Collatz conjecture it made perfect sense to me. You are simply dividing an even number in half until you reach one and, if the number is not even you coerce it to be so.

This created a flash of inspiration for me to devise this simple routine.

{This could be used as the basis of a program to prove the "unsolved problem" of whether Collatz conjecture applies to ALL numbers greater than one.}

class UILabel_Adjustable
	# Borrowed and modified the excellent example at http://www.11pixel.com/blog/28/resize-multi-line-text-to-fit-uilabel-on-iphone/
	# adapting it for RubyMotion
	#      This applies only to a multi-line label.  You can use '.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = true' for a single-line label

	# usage is:
	#   text = "It's bad luck to be superstitious"
	#   text_label = UILabel.alloc.initWithFrame([[20, 20], [70, 120]])
	#   text_label.numberOfLines = 0 # set 0 for word wrap
        #   text_label.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap

# A generic class to encapsulate the simple UIAlertView capability in iOS

Try this in the IRB console.
>> testhash = { :key1 => 'val1', :key2 => 'val2', :key3 => 'val3' }
>> testhash.each { | key, value | p key.to_s }
>> testhash.each { | key | p key.to_s }

My expectation was for the output to be the same in both cases.
Why the difference?
Why are the key and value concatenated?
