Why is my answer incorrect?

I keep trying to submit my answer:

SELECT * FROM users WHERE last_name = "Hinkley" OR "Pettit";

And keep getting the "bummer this is not correct" response. What am I doing wrong here?

You need to specify the last_name where condition for both like this:

SELECT * FROM users WHERE last_name = "Hinkley" OR last_name = "Pettit";
