9,385 PointsHi, I entered in my code an assignment that works (I checked it in the console), but it won't pass the check.
var chance = Math.round(Math.random(0,20))

var diameter = 5.75,
a = 17,
b = 42,
c = 1337,
ageIfILiveToYear2100 = (new Date(2100, 0, 1) - new Date(1995, 5, 16, 7, 20)) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365.242);
/*
The JavaScript Math object has the following
constant (among others):
Math.PI
Approximately 3.14159. Pi (π) is used
to determine the circumference of a circle
given its diameter by multiplying the diameter
by π. Geometery refresher: the circumference
of a circle is the distance around the outside
edge. The diameter is the width of the circle.
The JavaScript Math object also has the following
methods (among others):
Math.random()
Returns a random number between 0 and 1
Math.max(a, b, ...)
Returns the largest value of the passed
arguments
Math.floor(a)
Returns the value of a number rounded down to
the nearest integer
*/
var circumference = diameter * Math.PI;
var chance = Math.round(Math.random(0, 20) * 10);

try it this way, remove the parentheses in your last statement. If you remove it, the equation should be good
var chance = Math.random()*20+1;
see if this works for you.

9,385 PointsThe quiz step: "Create a variable named "chance" and assign it a random number between 0 and 20 to it using the Math.random() method."
