It would be nice to see a pop up or something about what to do next if you're stuck or something that allows you to even see the answer if you get it wrong (that goes across the board in all courses; it'd be nice to see what the answers are to questions I missed).
In this course, I know there is a message that comes up alongside the "Bummer!" Make sure..." part to tell you you got the answer wrong, but it is the same message over and over again, so it doesn't look like it might always apply to something you did wrong. Additionally, sometimes you just can't get it right — it'd be great to be able to get further hints or the answer, then move on from there.

Hope this helps!

2,761 PointsHmm, that's unfortunate, it always works for me. ;p
Well I'm sure if you post your code here and the question asked, one of us on the forum will help direct you to the correct answer. The Treehouse community is very cool, they always help whenever I run into a problem.
Good luck!

Courses Plus Student 8,613 PointsI guess there are just some bugs — to be expected from time to time; it's still a great program! :) Thanks, all.

Courses Plus Student 8,613 PointsI have been doing that, but got stuck on the last question! It's a great tip, but for this last time, it didn't seem to work for me.
