Try to be careful to set the correct language when posting a gist. This will make it easier to read for everybody by providing syntax highlighting

Good work!

• the indentation looks very proper and in line with ruby conventions!
• when creating gists, if you save the file as a .rb, we will get the benefit of Github's ruby syntax highlighting.
• The program's output should give us more context around the numbers you are outputting? Which one is the average? Which one is the min?
• nice use of a sorting algorithm! Can you identify the min and the max without sorting the list?
• Should the average be an instance of Float?

Be careful about leaving trailing whitespace in your files. You've got a blank space on the lines that are separating your methods:
