Hi Konstantinos,

Your codes look great except gets and chomp method in this line which should be delete because the challenge question didn't require this part. 

  answer = gets.chomp

;)

Why do you do gets.chomp with the answer variable? It is being passed in as an argument already. Just remove that line and it will work.
