$text: red;
$link: lighten($text, 5%);
$complement: complement($text);
a {
color: $link;
}
but this does:
$text: red;
$link: lighten($text, 5%);
$complement: complement(red);
a {
color: $link;
}

it does not work in the code challenge, though in my opinion it should, especially as its in the Sass section. Or maybe I'm missing something, it wouldn't be the first time.
