- you forgot to put quotes around your strings (like "cairo")
- your strings are all lower case, but you convert the input into upper case.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 33,271 Pointsyou are comparing upper-cased strings to lower-cased strings. if you are going to convert the responses to uppercase, you need to compare those responses to uppercase strings to determine if they are correct.
