I see a space at the beginning of your output constant which is the root of the problem you're receiving. Omit that and you should be all set.
// Enter your code below
let firstValue: Int = 2
let secondValue: Int = 4
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = /* there was a space at the beginning of this constant (inside the string literal) */ "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"
Good luck!
EDIT: 10.26.15
The challenge has been fixed, and you can now have your solution look like this with the types:
// Enter your code below
let firstValue: Int = 10
let secondValue: Int = 5
let product: Int = firstValue * secondValue
let output: String = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"
