Hey Olu,

If I remember the syntax correctly, you have to repeat the conditional statement on both sides of the || operator. So, give this a try:

else if (answer1.ToLower() != "true") || (answer1.ToLower() != "false")

i managed to get it in the end the syntax is actually

 else if ((answer1.ToLower() != "true") || (answer1.ToLower() != "false"))
