Stuck on this challenge.

I've looked up another guide for this challenge after getting stuck on it. I have copied exact lines but it still won't work. What am I missing?

It gives Try again error.

minutes.py 
import datetime

def minutes(day1, day2):
    timedelta = day2 - day1
    new_object = timedelta.total_seconds()
    new_object_in_minutes = timedelta/60

    return round(new_object_in_minutes)

You were pretty close. You got a little confused with the logic of creating the object, but you were on the right track.

import datetime

def minutes(day1, day2):
    timedelta = day2 - day1
    return round( timedelta.total_seconds() / 60 )
