Please help. This is what it gives me: Bummer: Did you assign the return value of the 'DownloadString' method to the 'zenResponse' variable?
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine(BecomeZen());
}
public static string BecomeZen()
{
string zenResponse = "";
using(var webClient = new WebClient())
{
webClient.Headers.Add("User-Agent", "CodeChallenge");
string response = webClient.DownloadString("https://api.github.com/zen");
}
return zenResponse;
}
}
}

And happy holidays!
