I am struggling to complete lesson 1 activity 3,  I am sure I have the syntax correct,

player.say(45+2505)

but I just keep getting the message" Oops, we cant run this project, please check for errors"

I've also tried copying the tutorial message: player say  (1+1) but that won't run either

See screenshot below (coding at the top, error message at the bottom)

I would love to use these tutorials to introduce my students to Python, but if I can't complete them, I'm pretty sure they wont either.  I've also tried importing the world on different machines, still no joy.  Help!

  Hi Karen Stoodley- I discovered the same thing. Your syntax is correct however, the error message appears. I bypassed the error by doing the math and selecting the correct answer in the world. You can show your students that the code does indeed work in a different world, and that this bug happens to exist. You can still proceed through the lesson. Hope this helps!

  Thanks, my workaround was going to be online calculator.  I initially tried it on my laptop, the again on my desktop, fails both times, however when I tried it on a student account it worked perfectly!  I often say to students "Computers can be a bit weird and irrational at times".  My husband points out with the millions of bits/switches flicking on and off it only takes one to go wrong and and error comes up.  Real life situations I guess!
