Nitpick concerning the ruby loops challenge

The challenge can be found here: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/ruby-loops/ruby-loops/the-ruby-loop

The instructions say that you should exit the loop if there are MORE than 3 items in the numbers array, but then provides an error saying there were not three items in the array. Changing the inequality to >= fixes this, but it might throw people for a loop.

I noticed this too, and I think you are definitely right. The instructions of the challenge should instead say:

"Using the loop construct, add the current value of number to the numbers array. Inside of the loop, add 1 to the number variable. If the numbers array has more than 2 items, use the break keyword to exit the loop."

You should report this bug to help@teamtreehouse.com and they will award you with the Exterminator badge :)
