Hi Pedro, these code challenges can be very picky about the input they require. While your code works perfectly, the challenge wants to receive a prompt with "What day is it?" while you have given it a prompt with "What day is it ?". There is a space between your "it" and your "?", simply fix that and the challenge should pass :)
