Is it just me or is this challenge ridiculous?

The video does not provide syntax for passing arrays in a function OR making multiple comparisons with if/else.

Not sure I could reproduce it with certainty, but it was close to the OP on another forum post https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/stuck-on-functions-stage-5-code-challenge. Make sure you use the same name in the body as in the parameter. You don't actually need curly braces around an if/else unless its more than one line, which these aren't. If you send me your code I can troubleshoot. Good luck.

got it. basically used trial and error until it took my answer. it'd be nice if the site would let me copy the correct code without having to refresh the page and enter it again.

Any chance you can share your code? Having the same issue and stackoverflow seems to be confounding the issue for me.

Thanks!!
