The answer you're looking for is this - you need to select all from people where the fullname is like (wildcard) and last name
SELECT * FROM people WHERE fullname LIKE "%Tolkien";

Courses Plus Student 6,497 PointsI think the challenge uses last_name & not full_name? If so:
select last_name from people where last_name = "Tolkien"
