WordPress Header and Footer Templates, Quiz says 2 of my answers are wrong. Why is this ?

I have answered all of the quiz questions correctly apart from the following 2 questions which just give me a wrong answer no matter what I put in. Is there a specific exact answer required as everything I've tried just wont pass as correct.

The questions are:

How would you echo out the current year in 4 digits using the PHP date function? ;

I have tried various versions of echo date('Y') such as just echo date or ('Y') and even enclosed in php code block but nothing passes.

I get the same with this question as well using variations of bloginfo('url')

What function and parameter would you use to dynamically echo out the URL for a WordPress site:

I am using a windows PC so wondered if this is a bug with keyboard characters as single quotes render leaning left rather than upright. Have tried using double quotes but no luck either.

This is driving me around the bend so would be grateful for any enlightenment as to what's wrong.

Seems to be working fine now if you put

echo date('Y')

and

bloginfo('url')

Must have been a bug !!

This has been the worst quiz I've done on treehouse! Spent about 30 mins trying to solve this one alone!

Ok, this quiz is really a bummer.

The answers as suggested above and all of the possible variations are still not working. I tried many and already spend 45 minutes just on this quiz.

Wordpress, can you please recheck your quiz? As you can see many people have problems with this particular one.

Help very much appreciated!

Elijah is right: enter date ('Y') and it should work

but the answers to the "url" and "name" questions should be right to?

bloginfo('url') bloginfo('name')

If your lucky you'll pass with 1 error...

Do not add the semi-colon at the end. Make sure you are not doing. Check and then check again because that is probably the problem.
