You must accept only the lines beetween the "<<<<<<< HEAD" and "=======" and discard the lines beetween "=======" and ">>>>>>> pessimistic_branch"

You have to get this:

This is a text file! It's a fun little text file - 
it never really did anything to hurt anyone. 

The only problem with our fun little text file 
is that it has conflict resolution issues.

It tries its best to resolve problems on its own.

Whenever it runs into a problem, it asks other people for help.

Maybe you can help it resolve its issues?

Yes I got that so far, but I can't seem to solve this one. I've watched the episode over and over again and still I can't answer this one.

OMG I thought I had to run some Git commands, I was thinking waaaaay to far... while it was so simple :-S Thx Roberto!
