Answer 1

Check the ruby syntax for switch-like statments, there is no ":" after the when.

case foo
  when "bar"
    # do stuff
  when "bar2"
    # do other stuff
end

On a side note, why are you trying to do it like this? If I read your code correctly, maybe you should take a look at the ordinalize method.
