It's odd, but try to remove the String "What is your last name? " so you have this instead: 

String firstName = console.readLine();
String lastName = console.readLine();

Excellent. There is nothing in your code that were wrong. It was just that the way the task was checking for solution was a bit off. Seems like it doesn't wan't anything in the code it wasn't explicitly asking for here.
