Why am I getting an error?

I tried inside the body tags I tried outside the body tags I put the text in the script tags with and without quotes. I turned my screen upside down tried typing it in looking in a mirror ... and nothing worked.

perhaps a fresh pair of eyes will be able to explain

oh and I restarted the quiz 3x and still getting an error.
