You're not. If I copy/paste your code into the challenge it passes both steps! Try clearing your browser cache and reloading the challenge then copy/paste your code from here. If that doesn't fix it, you may need to contact Treehouse support.

But while your code passes, it's not exactly what they're looking for either. Your interpolated greeting will end up looking like this: "Hi there, Leon. Leon How are you?". You have already put name in the greeting so you don't need it in the end interpolatedGreeting.

And the challenge you're linking to doesn't ask for an interpolatedGreeting variable.
