If you remove the call to Time#sec entirely, the examples work like I think they should. That points the finger at Time#sec or its documentation, for failing to warn that it modifies the receiver. But I don't know whether the "right" fix is to the code or the documentation. Maybe a brand-new Pickaxe hot off the press argues for a code fix. I'll leave it to Matz. Steve
