I just went through all three tasks, and there is no bug - all tasks passed for me.
With the code you posted, the challenge never asked you to hard-code a value into the firstName variable, so your line of code, although correct in syntax, is not what the challenge is asking for.
One other thing I notice, is your Console.Write ... this is incorrect syntax. The correct method name is Console.WriteLine.
Have a another go, but read the instructions very carefully, as challenges are extremely picky and precise. And watch for the syntax errors.
Keep Coding! :)

You second line is supposed to call the Console.WriteLine() method with the variable firstName as the argument.
