I'm trying to pass several parameters of class Integer to one of two methods—the pick is determined by the final parameter passed to the initial method.

The problem is described in full here, but in short, my methods should correctly count the no. of chains of 2+ identical digits when multiple digits are passed in with a final param of
:problem => :count_clumps.

i.e. problem_14(1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, :problem => :count_clumps) should return 2, as it contains 2 chains of 2+ identical digits.

I'm failing an rspec test for the following: problem_14(1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, :problem => :count_clumps) My methods should return 2, but they return 0.

I think the problem is with whatever problem_14 is passing to count_clumps. count_clumps passes rspec tests when tested directly, but returns the wrong result when invoked via problem_14.
