ask.rb 
def parse_answer(answer, kind="string")
  if kind == "number"
    answer = answer.to_i
  end
  return answer
end

def ask(question)
  print question + " "
  answer = gets.chomp
  return answer
end

answer = ask "What is your answer?"

You only need the parse_answer method. Remove all other code and it will pass.
