Hi Angela,

Your code does look correct (except maybe needing spacing between the different parts of the date). Unfortunately, there seems to be some technical glitches in the challenges right now that is preventing the code checker from properly checking and passing your code, or providing a proper error message. The wonderful Support Team is aware and are looking into the issue. If you like, you can continue on with the course by navigating using the little bubbles on top of the video screen to jump to the next step after the challenge.

Once the issue has been resolved, you can come back to the challenge and complete it.

Sorry for the problems. :(

But nice work! :) :dizzy:
