You guys are wrong.

I am putting the right answer. (Got it from Google) And somehow I'm still wrong.

I would be very wary of the page you found using Google that suggested you should have more than one <footer> element on the page. While this is not strictly disallowed by syntax rules, it's not a typical practice.

More importantly in this particular case, it's not what the challenge instructions ask for.

I would also question the Googled advice about wrapping elements in anchors (<a> elements) that have no properties. This is another practice that is not strictly prohibited, but even more unusual and not likely to be useful.

And, like the extra <footer>, it is also not what the challenge instructions ask for.

In general, the easiest way to pass the challenges is to follow the instructions carefully, but also take care not to do anything extra that the instructions do not ask for.
