Hi Luis,

You're doing really well, but you seem to have inserted a couple incorrect symbols. It should only be %s. I'm assuming you were trying to add a new line break with the /n? First, the challenge didn't ask for one, and second, the new line is \n (note the backslash, not forward slash). Once you delete that bit of incorrect code, your code does pass both Tasks.

Nice job! :) :dizzy:
