Not sure what the problem is here, I pasted your code into the challenge and it passed for me. I did get a communication problem pop up a couple of times so maybe try refreshing the browser and trying again.

Worked for me about 4 hours later as well. Super frustrating.

Glad it finally started working for you! And I'm sorry it was so frustrating. Sadly technology is never perfect, so even companies like Treehouse still have occasional bugs and problems.
