ruby hash enumerables Ruby

I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock... I'm trying to transform a nested hash structure in Ruby using `each_with_object`, but I'm working with unexpected behavior. My input is a hash where each key points to another hash, and I want to create a new hash that summarizes some values from these nested hashes. However, the output is not what I expect, and I believe it's related to how I'm using `each_with_object`. Here's a simplified version of what I'm working with: ```ruby input = { user_1: { age: 30, location: 'NY' }, user_2: { age: 25, location: 'CA' }, user_3: { age: 35, location: 'TX' } } result = input.each_with_object({}) do |(user, data), acc| acc[user] = data[:age] > 30 ? 'older' : 'younger' end puts result.inspect ``` I expect `result` to contain a hash like `{:user_1 => 'younger', :user_2 => 'younger', :user_3 => 'older'}`, but instead, I'm getting `{:user_1 => 'younger', :user_2 => 'younger', :user_3 => 'younger'}`. It looks like the age comparison isn't comparing correctly. I've also tried using a simple `each` method instead, but the result remains the same. Could this be related to how I'm accessing the `age` key, or is there an scenario with scoping that I'm unaware of? Any insights would be appreciated! This is part of a larger API I'm building. How would you solve this?
