Hi Sara,

You need to replace 60 to variable name ("speed limit"). You could write if the car speed (55) is less than speed limit (60), it should set true, otherwise if car speed is more than speed limit that would be false.

Modify your code, see below: 

car_speed = 55
speed_limit = 60

if car_speed > speed_limit
  too_fast = true
else
  car_speed < speed_limit
  too_fast = false
end

Or either way for much easier to read like elsif shortcut. 

car_speed = 55
speed_limit = 60

# Write your code here
if car_speed > speed_limit
   too_fast = true
elsif car_speed < speed_limit
  too_fast = false 
end

Hope that helps. :)
