For some reason I cannot figure out this question.
Use the prompt() method to ask the user "What day is it?" and store the result in the answer variable.
var date = prompt("What day is it?")
var answer = (date); document.write(answer);

For starters, the task wants you to store the prompt in the 'answer' variable.
var answer = prompt("What day is it?");
(also you forgot the ' ; ' at the end of your 'date' variable)
Then it wants you to display the reply to the prompt (stored in the 'answer' variable) in a document.write(); method. Like so:
document.write(answer);
The complete code looks like this:
var answer = prompt("What day is it?");
document.write(answer);
