SELECT AVG(score) AS average FROM reviews GROUP BY movie_id
... should do it.

9,695 PointsAah, I was quering the wrong database.
I think it would be helpful if we are told what schema (databases and tables) are available to us. Often times in this course, I had to guess the name of the database in the challenges. Most of the times, it carries over from one challenge to another, but sometimes I forget, and then its annoying cause its like throwing the basketball into the dark hoping to find a basket somewhere, if you know what I mean...
Thanks for your answer.

57,712 PointsI agree that there are some challenges like that. I found a few courses too - especially in the Rails track where the code gets updated, or databases get created with no instruction how to do that yourself. I initially found it mega-frustrating but did eventually get through the problems. Although the last course I took I did just give up as the tutor was just flipping through multiple files deleting stuff seemingly at random with no explanation why!
I guess it can't be perfect!
