Finding Scopes Code Challenge 2

I am on the struggle bus with this code challenge. Below is my code which, based on the examples I have seen in the videos and the Rails documentation I believe is right but I cannot get it to pass.

person.rb

1 class Person < ActiveRecord::Base 2 scope :hamptons, -> {where("first_name LIKE ?", "Hampton")} 3 end

I am not looking for someone to give me the answer, but a nudge in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

I tried: LIKE, IS, =

Then I went trough the video transcripts, Ctrl+F, "name"... trying to find an example!
