You are getting three errors back telling you that your pattern is returning true when it should return false. Do you know which part of your regex pattern is causing this? Look at what all three of those telephone numbers have in common.

What weird thing do all three of the phone numbers have in common? They aren’t supposed to pass, so they all have something wrong with them. What is it?
