After deep googles, I found some answers, but without my complete understanding. Why does it default the script to red? Shouldn't I have to input a color for that to be a response. I see no association as to why Red the color is automatically put in. This has me very boggled..

Where does the script default to red? This is what I see in the Test Results panel:

Task #1

Edit: Never mind, I realized you were talking about the 2nd task of the challenge.

Look at the instructions: They say they'll respond with their favorite color. That means the inputting is done by the computer.
