Well, this is a fun little puzzle from Google Blogoscoped

I’ve translated them to Ruby-esque code fragments (with some Rails-isms sprinkled in.)

// idiom 1
cop[0].goodInPercent = 100;
cop[1].goodInPercent = 0;

GoodCop=cop[0]
BadCop=cop[1]
return GoodCop + BadCop

// idiom 2
isCrowd = personCounter >= 3;

assert (3 == isCrowd)

// idiom 3
injury += insult;

return (insult + injury)

// idiom 4
1: board.draw();
goto 1;

def Board.back
  Board.type = ‘drawing’
end

// idiom 5
if (bird[1].feather == bird[2].feather) {
    bird[1].flock(bird[2]);
}

flock.collect {|bird| feathers.each {|feather| bird.find_by_feather(feather)}}

// idiom 6
a = getThickness('blood');
b = getThickness('water');
assert(a > b);

Blood.SpecificGravity = 1.0506 # reference: http://www.clinchem.org/cgi/content/abstract/20/5/615
Water.SpecificGravity = 1.0000
assert (Blood.SpecificGravity > Water.SpecificGravity)

// idiom 7

  def Spade.call(value)
    Spade.name = value   end
end

Spade.call (‘Spade’)

// idiom 8
die(1000);
function die(max) {
    for (i = 1; i <= max; i++) {
        cut();
    }
}

Death.find_by_cut(‘1000’)

// idiom 9
