Just to add approach that I wrote before reading your answers (your is better, but, well, it was just for fun :)

  class One
    def initialize
      @num = 1
    end

    def plus
      @opt = :add
      return self
    end

    def minus
      @opt = :rmw
      return self
    end

    def two
      case @opt
        when :add then @num += 2
        when :rmw then @num -= 2
      end
      return self
    end

    def three
      case @opt
        when :add then @num += 3
        when :rmw then @num -= 3
      end
      return self
    end

    def equal
      num  = @num
      @num = 1
      return num
    end
  end

  one = One.new
  one.plus.two.equal    =>  3
  one.minus.three.equal => -2

That's why I love Ruby! It allows you to solve a problem in a large number of ways.
