231,261 PointsYou're close, but I see three issues:
- the method should take a string, but this code is expecting a pattern list (try using "split")
- the pattern should contain underscores and periods, but this code makes underscores and the word "dot"
- the instructions say to return "an instance with the correct pattern", you may need "cls()" but not "join"
Also, "fix_me" is never used, so the line that creates it can be omitted.
