Answer 1

I just start writing ruby. i guess this is only for 1.9.3

def dateBeautify(t)

    cute_date=Array.new
    tables=[ ["day", 24*60*60], ["hour", 60*60], ["minute", 60], ["sec", 1] ]

    tables.each do |unit, value|
        o = t.divmod(value)
        p_unit = o[0] > 1 ? unit.pluralize : unit
        cute_date.push("#{o[0]} #{unit}") unless o[0] == 0
        t = o[1]
    end
    return cute_date.join(', ')

end
