```ruby
var gaps = [];
var previous = :valid;
 
ARGF.each { |line|
    var (date, *readings) = line.words...;
    var valid = [];
    var hour = 0;
    for reading, flag in (readings.map{.to_n}.slices(2)) {
        if (flag > 0) {

            if (previous == :invalid) {
                gaps[-1]{:end} = "#{date} #{hour}:00";
                previous = :valid;

        else {
            if (previous == :valid) {
                gaps << Hash(start => "#{date} #{hour}:00");
            }
            gaps[-1]{:count} := 0 ++;

        }
        ++hour;
    }
    say ("#{date}: #{ '%8s' % (valid ? ('%.3f' % Math.avg(valid...)) : 0) }",
         " mean from #{ '%2s' % valid.len } valid.");
}
 
var longest = gaps.sort_by{|a| -a{:count} }.first;
 
say ("Longest period of invalid readings was #{longest{:count}} hours,\n",
    "from #{longest{:start}} till #{longest{:end}}.");
```

#### Output:

```
1991-03-30:   10.000 mean from 24 valid.
1991-03-31:   23.542 mean from 24 valid.
1991-03-31:   40.000 mean from  1 valid.
1991-04-01:   23.217 mean from 23 valid.
1991-04-02:   19.792 mean from 24 valid.
1991-04-03:   13.958 mean from 24 valid.
Longest period of invalid readings was 24 hours,
from 1991-03-31 1:00 till 1991-04-01 1:00.
