hi

script.js 
var money = 9;
var today = 'Friday'

if ( money >= 100 || today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time to go to the theater");    
} else if ( money >= 50 || today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie and dinner");    
} else if ( money > 10 || today === 'Friday' ) {

This challenge is a bit tricky because it requires that you match the tests with the messages. One thing you have to assume is that the original programmer used the correct amounts, since there's no information in the message to base changes on. So don't change any numbers (or literal strings).

But you may need to change operators where it's clear it doesn't match the message. Things like equal (===) vs. not equal (!==), or AND (&&} vs. OR (||).

For example:

if (color === "blue") { alert{"I sure am glad it is not blue!"); }

That code would not make sense. But if you changed the test operator to "!==" instead, it would.
