the challenge asked to add the 2 th elements to the thead element you just created. You just placed the th elements the wrong place. The code below passes.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTML Tables Challenge</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>HTML Tables Challenge</h1>

    <table>
      <thead> 
<tr>
   // you should add th's here
  <th>Eve</th>
  <th>Jackson</th> 
  <td>Jill</td>
  <td>Smith</td> 
  <td>50</td>
</tr>
      </thead>
<tr>
  <td>94</td>
</tr>
</table>

  </body>

Bummer! Header cells must be inside of a table row and have text in them.

  <head>
    <title>HTML Tables Challenge</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>HTML Tables Challenge</h1>

    <table>
      <thead>
<tr>
  <td>Jill</td>
  <td>Smith</td> 
  <td>50</td>
</tr>
      </thead>
<tr>
  <th>Eve</th>
  <th>Jackson</th> 
  <td>94</td>
</tr>
</table>


  </body>
</html> ```
