I'm going to quote Harry James' on this one as my official answer,

{" I'm getting the same problem on my side as well - there must be an issue with this Code Challenge.

I've gone ahead and reported this to the Treehouse Support team and will post back onto here if I get any updates about this for you (It shouldn't be long - they usually respond pretty quickly)

Speak to you soon and sorry about the issue! "}

Don't forget to add the link
