Hello,

You're missing the question mark at the end. 'What day is it?'

You always need to be careful with Treehouse challenges to do exactly what they ask, including copying strings exactly. In this case, they need to see a ? as the last character of your string for it to pass the challenge. I tend to always just copy/paste strings from the challenge description for this reason.
