Having a hard time on this. Any inputs? Not sure if I understand the problem...

def suggest(product_idea):
    if product_idea != 3:
       raise ValueError ("Not sufficient")
    return product_idea + "inator"

You're close, but you need to test the length of the product idea and not the string itself.

Also, you don't want to check for just not 3 characters, but for anything less than 3 characters.
