you're close. the question ask you to match the pattern http://localhost.com/flavors/ . You are not looking for the "/" at the end of the patter. So you'll need to add /$ instead of just $
See the video about the 3:30 mark

Also, in case it still doesn't work, I had to retype your carrot sign (^) into the challenge for it to work. make sure you are using the carrot that is shift+6 on your keyboard.

yeah, it was actually the carrot sign >_< I had to add a space after shift+6, so that it appeared bigger on the screen. I guess that way it becomes the proper character.
