Interestingly enough, your existing code will pass the challenge if you remove the incomplete last line. The challenge was looking for a new variable design_menu to be created, then use this new variable to format menu. You've combined these two lines into one so menu has the correct end value without using the intermediate variable design_menu

A detailed approach would be:

available       = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes         = available.split(";")
display_manu    = ", ".join(sundaes)
menu            = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(display_menu)

Tagging Kenneth Love to see if the checker needs to check for display_menu usage.

Nope. That's what the "if you're feeling brave" comment is about. I don't really care if display_menu exists or not.
