What am I supposed to do?

Write a function called far_away that takes one argument, a timedelta. Add that timedelta to datetime.datetime.now() and return the resulting datetime object

far_away.py 
def far_away(timedelta):
    timedelta + datetime.datetime.now()
    return datetime

You are so close-- you basically solved it! First, the challenge expects you to import datetime standard library and then just return what you calculated on the next to last line.

Keep up the great work!

import datetime
def far_away(timedelta):
    return timedelta + datetime.datetime.now()
