I'm another victim of this trash do...while challenge task. Here's the code I wrote:
var guessCount = 0;
var secretCount = false;
do { var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?"); guessCount += 1; if (secret.toLowerCase() === "open sesame") { secretCount = true; } } while (!secretCount) document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
I'm not even getting a "Bummer" notice, I'm getting "Oh no! We didn't hear from the challenge service in a timely fashion. If you continue experiencing problems, please contact support at help@teamtreehouse.com". And I contacted support and they freaking sent me to ask the community. So what gives?

4,623 PointsThat wasn't the only fix and it honestly makes ZERO sense for a system to be so specific about something that it's actually code related. Ridiculous.
