Can't pass the turtleSpeed variable challenge. Any ideas why?

When I paste the exact same code in Xcode it seems to be working, but I can't pass the challenge.

enum.swift 
enum Speed: Int {
    case Slow = 10, Medium = 50, Fast = 100
}

var turtleSpeed = Speed.Slow

This is what I get when trying to submit it: Bummer! The variable 'turtleSpeed' was expected to be of type 'Int', but it wasn't.

You've almost got it. You need to add .rawValue to the end of your call.

var turtleSpeed = Speed.Slow.rawValue
