Ins and Outs Quick Question (Pinning Fjords?)

Hi everyone,

I have no idea what this question is expecting as an answer. I did some research and it seems to be a Monty Python reference, but this seems to be the whole quote!

Hi Phil, The question is simply more of like a "fill in the blank" kinda thing to get the output "He's pining for the fjords!"

So how would you concatenate the following strings :

"He's pining "  _______  "for" ________  " the fjords!"

to get the output: 

 "He's pining for the fjords!"

on the python interpreter?

Please use python's string concatenation operator.

Hope this helps.

Finally, create 2 new variables, one named estimate that holds the rounded number of decades you've lived and, one named summary that adds the string version of estimate into "I am {} days old! That's about {} decades!" with the correct values added to it.
