I had the same problem with this challenge. It did work after two refreshes, but I think there’s still an issue here. (Using Chrome 50.0.2661.102 on a MacBook with El Capitan. Started by working through from the previous challenge, and got no feedback at the point that I clicked Run Tests. Ctrl-Enter didn’t work either. Did a “Reset” with the button in the layout, and tried a second time, but still had the same problem. Did a hard reload by using the keyboard shortcut of Command-R, which launched in a new tab. This carried my code forward, and in the new tab, “Run Tests” was successful.)

@swapy I can’t seem to reproduce this. Your code works for me and looks correct to me. Have you tried resetting your code and trying again?
