I'm not sure how to include workspace snapshots but i've scanned over my code and don't see anything different from what he's doing in the video. What's the issue?
var input = prompt("gimme a number");
var interger = parseInt(input);
var random = math.floor(Math.random() * interger) + 1;
var message = "<p>" + random + " is the magic number.</p>";
document.write(message);

This show us that you've just made a typo. Missing uppercase 'M'.
Your code:
var random = math.floor(Math.random() * interger) + 1;
Correction:
var random = Math.floor(Math.random() * interger) + 1;

10,418 PointsThe spelling of the variable is consistent and would therefore have no impact on the code.
Jeremy could have just as easily called it "int" or "Z"; both of which are also an incorrect spelling of "integer". As long as it's clear what the variable describes then it's all good.
