Why is the code challenge freezing up?

Hi, I've been trying to complete this code challenge for days now, but it says I have some sort of a communications problem. What should I do about this? Thanks!

Hi Gabriel,

I just ran through it myself with no problem. It sounds like you may have internet connectivity issues (on your end), maybe? Without knowing the exact error it's difficult to pinpoint.

The first things I would try are: closing the browser (personally I have a tendency to leave mine open for days and weeks on end, which leads to freezing occasionally) and reopening; troubleshooting your net connection, and maybe trying a different browser.

Best, Cena
