It asks me to group reviews by movie_id and get the average score per movie.

Why is this not right:

SELECT movie_id, AVG(score) AS average FROM reviews GROUP BY movie_id

You're almost there! The key is: you don't need to include everything in your results. You can group by a column without including it in the data you select.

You are right. I tested the "both tables have the column id" approach. This is the accepted answer. The task text is misleading.

Thank you for your reply. It is correct measured by the text of the task. But since there is that hidden thing of both tables having an id column it does not pass validation. I'm sure they will fix it.
