Trying to figure out the super conditional challenge

var money = 9; var today = 'Friday'

if ( money > 100 || today === 'Friday' ) { alert("Time to go to the theater");
} else if ( money > 50 || today === 'Friday' ) { alert("Time for a movie and dinner");
} else if ( money > 10 || today === 'Friday' ) { alert("Time for a movie");
} else if ( money === 9 || today !== 'Friday' ) { alert("It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out");
} else { alert("This isn't Friday. I need to stay home."); }

script.js 
var money = 9;
var today = 'Friday'

if ( money > 100 || today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time to go to the theater");    
} else if ( money > 50 || today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie and dinner");    
} else if ( money > 10 || today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie");   
} else if ( money === 9 || today !== 'Friday' ) {
  alert("It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out");   
} else {
  alert("This isn't Friday. I need to stay home.");
}

Hi Glenn, All you need to do is replace the || operator with && and also replace the !== with === in the last condition. In this way all the conditions are false apart from the last one where you'll have money===9 && today===Friday.
