stringcases challenge. (right output but challenge not passed)

Hi! Do you know why the following code doesn't pass the challenge?

def stringcases(x): return((x.lower(), x.upper(), x.title(), x[::-1]))

Thank you very much for all of your answers! Francesco

stringcases.py 
def stringcases(x):
    return((x.lower(), x.upper(), x.title(), x[::-1]))

Be careful about testing a challenge in an external REPL.

If you have misunderstood the challenge, it's also very likely that you will misinterpret the results.

In this case, you are returning all the right things, but not in the order that the challenge asked for. The uppercased version should be first.
