I have the same problem. Is there a simple explanation?

it’s weird because that is what the solutions say as well

yeah me too lol why is it doing this to uss…?

remove the extra space

I had the same issue and i resolved it by coping and pasting the haiku in the instructions, not by typing it out, it seemed to work for me.

I’m having the same issue, I don’t have any extra spaces, I keep checking, I also tried it with this ’ kind of quote instead of these ". No idea.

I had this issue as well. I tried what steveeeeee did and that worked for me. Not sure why, but it worked.

That question should be answered. Can you show us the code that didn’t work so we can compare them?

this is funny. but they want your money. going on a year now and not debugged. same issue here, ive been at it over 10 minutes. and for whatever reason,i cant copy and paste so cant move forward from this

I had a similar issue to a lot of people where after printing it it looked identical to the solution. The problem was I had included spaces at the end of each line whereas the solution did not have spaces there. It was impossible for me to tell that was the issue since I instinctively include a space when I type and the solution looks the same despite the fact I included two extra characters.

Near the run key there is a lamp with a solution to the problem! Go to her and ask for a replacement to solve the problem.
