Hi Simon,

As you have it right now, the concatenated string would look like "Rubyrocks!"

Notice that there is no space between "Ruby" and "rocks!" and the challenge mentions that there should be one.

So you have to put a space either after the 'y' in "Ruby" or before the 'r' in "rocks!". Either way would work.
