Test First Ruby Performance Monitor Rspec Error - ruby

Question

I'm starting the 06_performance_monitor exercise in TestFirst Ruby and the failure it lists is in the Rspec that was provided in the materials for TestFirst Ruby tutorial (where it says undefined method 'measure'). From what I've been able to find online, it seems this tutorial was written for Rspec 2 and Ruby 1.9. I currently have Rspec 2.99.0, Ruby 1.9.3, and Rake 0.9.22 installed. I guess my question is, what am I doing wrong/do I need different versions? I don't understand why the provided Rspec doesn't seem to work as it should. This happened in one other exercise for this tutorial but it was only a minor error message that didn't interfere with my testing.

UPDATE
My code below (I know it doesn't pass any of the tests below, I was just playing around with this first):
def performance_monitor
start = Time.now
yield
return "#{Time.now - start}"
end
I've never used a method called 'measure' that shows up in the Rspec which is below:
# # Topics
#
# * stubs
# * blocks
# * yield
#
# # Performance Monitor
#
# This is (a stripped down version of) an actual useful concept: a
# function that runs a block of code and then tells you how long it
# took to run.
require "performance_monitor"
require "time" # loads up the Time.parse method -- do NOT create time.rb!
describe "Performance Monitor" do
before do
#eleven_am = Time.parse("2011-1-2 11:00:00")
end
it "takes about 0 seconds to run an empty block" do
elapsed_time = measure do
end
elapsed_time.should be_within(0.1).of(0)
end
it "takes exactly 0 seconds to run an empty block (with stubs)" do
Time.stub(:now) { #eleven_am }
elapsed_time = measure do
end
elapsed_time.should == 0
end
it "takes about 1 second to run a block that sleeps for 1 second" do
elapsed_time = measure do
sleep 1
end
elapsed_time.should be_within(0.1).of(1)
end

fake_time = #eleven_am
Time.stub(:now) { fake_time }
elapsed_time = measure do
fake_time += 60 # adds one minute to fake_time
end
elapsed_time.should == 60
end
it "runs a block N times" do
n = 0
measure(4) do
n += 1
end
n.should == 4
end
it "returns the average time, not the total time, when running multiple times" do
run_times = [8,6,5,7]
fake_time = #eleven_am
Time.stub(:now) { fake_time }
average_time = measure(4) do
fake_time += run_times.pop
end
average_time.should == 6.5
end
it "returns the average time when running a random number of times for random lengths of time" do
fake_time = #eleven_am
Time.stub(:now) { fake_time }
number_of_times = rand(10) + 2
average_time = measure(number_of_times) do
delay = rand(10)
fake_time += delay
end
average_time.should == (fake_time - #eleven_am).to_f/number_of_times
end
end
