Paula,

I just checked the challenge, and your code seems to be working. What error is it giving you?

If you're still receiving this error, maybe try refreshing your browser or trying the quiz in a different browser. Not sure what would be causing this to fail.

Hey Shawn, thank you!

Now it went through. Maybe it was a cookie problem.

I was having the same issue. I tried over and over. My answer was the same. I removed the whitespace in my answer and it worked. Maybe a glitch?
