 Well, String#scan is defined like this in ruby-man

       scan(pattern) 
       scan(pattern) {...} 

              Returns the array of arrays which contain subpatterns
              corresponding parentheses in the pattern. Match will be done
              repeatedly to the end of the string. When called with the
              block, subpatterns are passed to the block as parameters.

 For me, the result is correct
