Challenge 2 does not work

I answer queston 1 correctly, but after I answer challenge 2, it says challenge one is wrong. I didn't change any of the answer so I'm unsure why this is the case. Here is the code I added below. The code that has supposedly been changed is quick.length:

 var quick = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";

      var quickLength = quick.length;
      var indexOfBrown = quick.indexOf(brown);
      var tenthCharacter = quick;
      var wordBrown = quick;
      var quickUpper = quick;
      var quickLower = quick;

hey geoff, this error message might be a little bit misleading, in fact from the code I can see here your task 1 still passes. however there's an error with the second task. you want to find the index of the "string" brown. now when you look at your code indexOf(brown) you're not treating the word brown as a string.

when strings are used they are wrapped in quotation marks, if you do so for the value brown then your code will pass this second task just fine ;)

Thanks Alex! I thought it might be an issue with that (was hard to believe Treehouse was wrong!)
