Simple extends keeps failing

The question is only in list.html to extend layout.html. I don't know why it keeps failing. I have tried both and neither are working:

{% extends "layout.html" %}

or

{% extends "code_challenges/layout.html" %}
code_challenges/templates/code_challenges/layout.html 
<html>
    <head>
        <title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="page-header">
            <!-- YOUR CODE HERE -->

        </div> 
    </body>
</html>
code_challenges/templates/code_challenges/list.html 
{% extends "code_challenges/layout.html" %}

dunno. I took at look at an earlier post, which i think is the same question. They seemed to have success with a set of code that looks like yours.

Thank you Simon, When I copied and pasted Chris Freeman answer, Task two then passed, but as soon as I checked Task 3 (code below), it says that Task 2 is no longer passing.

{% extends "code_challenges/layout.html" %}
{% block title %}Welcome to the code challenges!{% endblock %}

And I forgot to mention, also to get task 2 to pass, I have to include the original title as default text.

<title>{% block title %}Code Challenge{% endblock %}</title>

I wasn't sure where you got up to, but the following works. Some of the error messages i got seemed to be wrong. It keps telling me it couldn't find layout.

I think treehouse's messages and testing for this challenge may be messed up. The message about layout being missing disappeared after i changed my code for task1. It doesn't make any sense to me.
