create returns true if successful, false otherwise. create! throws an
exception if the operation fails for any reason.

Nothing. The {} indicating the hash is optional if it's obvious to the
Ruby interpreter. If you were to have two hash arguments you need to
separate them properly so the interpreter understand what to do:
do_this({ :a => 'a', :b => 'b' }, { :c => 'c', :d => 'd' })
See if the braces aren't present then it would look like:
do_this(:a => 'a', :b => 'b' , :c => 'c', :d => 'd')
Which is probably not what you want if you intended to send two hashes
to the method. In the second case there is only one hash send and the
second argument would not be set.
It might do you some good to go back and brush up your basic Ruby
skillz.
