Python first question

The first question for the python course asks to create a variable called 'name' and the value of name should be my name as a string.

I wrote out

name = "Krissy Griarte"

I got the question wrong?

variable.py 
name = "Krissel Griarte"

It worked fine for me. Are you sure you didn't add extra characters inside the challenge prompt?

Asking for just your first name I think. So name = 'Krissel' It'll work fine though in other exercise this one just asking for a name. So first name.
