It looks like you made "log" anonymous, but instead of moving it into the call of "functionRunner" you put something else there (which doesn't have valid syntax).

Just move the new anonymous function into the call. When done, everything should be in the call.

Note that you don't need to convert to arrow syntax for this challenge.
