Why do you need the answer? You're very close to the solution. Decorators (those things that start with @) need to be directly before the function they decorate, so no blank lines between them. And your view, as it says in the prompt, needs to return a string. You're currently returning an integer.

Treehouse uses a point system to rank people and indicate their progress through courses and awards them for being helpful on the forums. It wouldn't work so well if they just gave the answers away (which is also why Kenneth Love also isn't going to just write the answer on the forums either, neither should anyone to any question directly). :)
