There seems to be a bug or error on TeamTreehouse's side. The support team are aware of the issue and we'll just have to skip the challenges until the problem is fixed.

Romeo is correct. Currently, there are some issues with the Java challenges and the Code Checker engines. I'm certain the Support Team is working hard and fast to fix the problem!
For the time being, I suggest continuing on with the course (if you'd like) by navigating over the challenge using the buttons in the progress bar above the video window.
Just make sure you come back later to complete the challenge so you receive full credit and the badge for the course. Hopefully everything gets up and going smoothly soon.
Keep Coding! :)
