task one will work then on the next section it wont. I'm so confused and there isn't sufficient direction.

Hi Wayne,

When doing a second task, if task one fails it usually means a syntax error was introduced hence stopping all previous tests from passing.

It looks like there was an extra space before the format() method. 

class Store:
    close = 1
    open = 2
    def hours(self):  #<-- include 'self' as the instance reference
        return "We're open from {} to {}.".format(self.open, self.close) #<-- removed space before ".format"
