Treehouse TeacherHi there! I can't be certain because I haven't seen your code nor the challenge, but most of the time when a challenge gets a "Communication Error" or "times out", it's because you've inadvertently created an infinite loop. In this case, the system will be forced to shut down the process.
To be sure, though, we would need to see your code and a link to the challenge. Also, status.teamtreehouse.com is not currently showing any system/technical problems.
Hope you get it sorted out!

9,686 PointsYes, but it's strange how every time I get these timeouts, I have gone to challenge through community and I'm trying out my solution. Once, I had to try more than 10 times until I made it through. Copied the same code every time so it was not about my code.
