From script/console:
>> pairs = Array.new(2).map!{Array.new(2).map!{Array.new(2, Array.new)}}
=> [[[[], []], [[], []]], [[[], []], [[], []]]]
>> pair = Pair.first
=> #<Pair id: 39, charge_card_id: 1, classroom_id: 1, timeslot_id: 1, created_at: "2010-04-01 00:45:37", updated_at: "2010-04-01 00:45:47">
>> pairs[0][0][0] << pair
=> [#<Pair id: 39, charge_card_id: 1, classroom_id: 1, timeslot_id: 1, created_at: "2010-04-01 00:45:37", updated_at: "2010-04-01 00:45:47">]
>> pairs[0][0]
=> [[#<Pair id: 39, charge_card_id: 1, classroom_id: 1, timeslot_id: 1, created_at: "2010-04-01 00:45:37", updated_at: "2010-04-01 00:45:47">], [#<Pair id: 39, charge_card_id: 1, classroom_id: 1, timeslot_id: 1, created_at: "2010-04-01 00:45:37", updated_at: "2010-04-01 00:45:47">]]

So the question is why the pair object appears in pairs[0][0][0] AND in pairs[0][0][1] inspite of I did'n ask it to appear there. Notice I don't nedd to pairs[0][0][0] = pair - I want it as a first array member, so I need to use << or .push.
