that kind of hint to a person who had +/-3hours of experience would've had really helped, but thanks I've got the answer elsewhere :)

I'm not quite sure what you're saying ... are you "a person who had +/-3hours of experience"? And the hint did or did not help?

Check the question again. The "help()" part is already there. The blank is for you to enter what you would use as the argument to help().

To get look up the documentation about the str class's upper method, I'd use help(______).

So to look up help on a method of a built-in class, you'd name it using both the class and the method separated by a period.

Also: I think the word "get" is a mistake in that sentence, but that's how the quiz reads.

Steven... I'm glad you reply to his question with sarcasm and completely leave his question unanswered

I wasn't intending sarcasm, but I thought the question might be misunderstood (particularly with that extra word in it). I reported that as a bug and now the question has been reworded.

I hate "spoilers" but I suppose I should've given a bit more of a hint. I've updated it now. But I hope Oliver is still not stuck!

This hint didn't help? "So to look up help on a method of a built-in class, you'd name it using both the class and the method separated by a period."
