did you delete the randomQUote method that was already there? I tried using your code but left the randomQuote method there and passed:

#import "Quote.h"

@implementation Quote

- (NSArray *) quotes {

    if (_quotes == nil){   
    _quotes = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"oneo",@"two",
                        @"three",
                      nil];
  }


    return _quotes;
}

- (NSString *) randomQuote {

    return @"Some Quote";
}

@end

I had the same problem, Matthew.

Make sure you don't have the @property set to "readonly". You would have passed challenge task 1 if you included "readonly", but would not be able to pass challenge task 2 by trying to set a value to something that is readonly.
