Here's a few hints:

  • you have 3 joins, but there only needs to be one
  • you have 2 formats, but you only need one
  • you have "sundeas" instead of "sundaes"
  • the join string should only have one space, after the comma
  • a live system ignores spaces added to dot notation, but the challenge doesn't like them
