stumped by challenge

I cannot solve task 2 at the end of the video on Anonymous Functions. I would feel better about spending more time on it if I could be sure there is nothing wrong with the challenge, itself, and that it would accept the correct answer.

I was stuck as well. I tried a number of things. It turns out the solution is a little simpler than I originally thought.

In the video, at the 14:00 mark, Jim gave me a hint that helped me pass the challenge. Check that out and let me know if that helps.

Thank you so much , Mike. Function Execution parentheses. Your help saved me untold frustration. You're right, it was simpler than one might expect.

Hey Richard,

What did you put for your solution? The task asks you to call the anonymous function right? How would you simply call functions in general? It is the same for anonymous functions. Good luck!
