Hi again:

Did you try it with everything else you already wrote? It should look like this:

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
  scope :hamptons, -> {where(first_name: "Hampton")}

end

I just tried that myself, and it worked.

Let me know if you have any questions/problems!

I had SUCH an issue with this earlier!

iirc, if you change the where to:

where(first_name: "Hampton")

It will pass.
