print "How long is your nose: "
noseLength = gets.chomp
noseLength = noseLength.to_i
num_1 = 5
if noseLength <= num_1
    puts "Damn your nose is normal, otherwise i would eat you"
elsif noseLength >= 6
    puts "some damn long nose"
else
    puts "duds"
end

gets "gets" a string. you have to convert the answer to an integer. you also had a syntax error or two.
