Please fix JavaScript Numbers Challenge Task 1, Using Exponential Notation

Hi, there seems to be a problem in the code checking for this challenge. I've tried several versions of 3.4e12 and 34e11, but no good. Treehouse, please fix so I can keep going. Thanks. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B96oP4U6bbW-Q2d1MWxyNWhlNzA/view?usp=sharing

You need to use an upper-case E.

Thanks for the tip, James -- I tried upper-case, too, but no go.

Also, I don't think lower-case should be problematic: http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_numbers.asp

I think it's a problem Treehouse will have to fix.
