It's looking for a specific combination of "bullet" (asterisk), space, and then name.

You need to put a space between the "bullet" and the name.

Thank you, that got it. Not sure why the space is needed, but will have to remember to have it there.

The space isn't needed for the code to run, but to meet the requirements of the challenge.
