var correctGuess = false;
if ( correctGuess === true ) {
    alert('This is true');
} else {
    alert('This is false');
}

I think you're literally just supposed to add true to the conditional statement. Not sure why it wouldn't recognize your answer. though. Here ya go:

if ( true ) {
    alert('This is true');
} else {
    alert('This is false');
}
