Hey there,

The challenge is looking for What day is it?", but you have "what day is it?" --> you need an upper-case "W" for "What".

Instructions are very specific and the Code Checker is even more picky. Even if the code is correct in syntax and works, if it isn't exactly what the instructions ask for, it will get the Bummer!.

Otherwise, nice job! :) :dizzy:

thanks

i do,thanks
