Hi there Edgar,

I appreciate seeing you contributing to the forum by helping others but please do try to do this in future without posting code solutions. Hints and tips are very welcome though.

Thanks for your understanding!
./H.B.

Thank you soooo much

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.

We are trying to cut back on the number of spoiler solutions found on the forum and instead focus on helping other campers with their questions and definitely not posting full working solutions.

I was just struggling with the same topic. But I got it. The answer lies in careful and exact reading what we have to code. The fallback value should be “green”. So the code is only the word green without the word fallback. OK?!
