Hey allen! Couple of hints here: 1) You have declared the variable 'response' twice. 2) Your only asking the user to input "Yes" or "No" once. 3) Despite this you continuesly checking if response is "No", but how would it ever change when your only asking the user for input once? 4) You have a typo on the last line, equal should be equals. 5) You were never asked to print "try again" if response equals "No"

Hope this helps!
