Hello, just did this challenge task, and maybe i'm too noob for the moment but, i didn't understand why the answer is "Jasmine".
we should write document.write("player"); instead of document.write("Jasmine"); in this task no?
Even the bummer error talk about the player var !

You're right in method, except you are writing javascript ("player") when to access a variable you must not include "", the correct method is javascript document.write(player);

Cheers!

Treehouse TeacherHi,
Thanks for pointing this out Mathias Szanto
I've fixed the Code Challenge so that students HAVE to use the variable. This doesn't pass anymore:
document.write("Jasmine");
