Set a variable called too_fast?
car_speed = 65
speed_limit = 60
too_fast >= 60
if car_speed > speed_limit
puts "Car speed exceeds the speed limit"
end

28,558 PointsI think you might be overthinking this challenge a bit, they are not asking you to set too_fast to a true statement. All they are asking is to set a variable called too_fast to the value true, if car_speed is greater than speed_limit, like this:
car_speed = 65
speed_limit = 60
if car_speed > speed_limit
too_fast = true
end

Marguerite Holden, keep in mind that the challenges are designed with very specific goals and very picky code checkers. If you deviate from the instructions (add what isn't asked for or deleted what was pre-loaded), you will get a "Bummer". Here, for example, the challenge did not ask for a
putsstatement. It just wanted a conditional checked and a value assigned appropriately.This is just to assist your future Treehouse learning experience... Pay very close attention to the Challenges instructions and don't modify what should be, and only add what is explicitly asked for. :)
Keep Coding!
