Good day,

The challenge asks you to set paris, from hill_valley, using the timezone you have created. so simply, replace the last two lines with:

paris = hill_valley.astimezone(tz)

import datetime

naive = datetime.datetime(2015, 10, 21, 4, 29)

make a variable for the timezone US/Pacific

us_pacific = datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(hours=-8))

make a variable for the time in hill valley that is in the US/Pacific timezone

hill_valley = datetime.datetime(2015, 10, 21, 4, 29, tzinfo=us_pacific)

tz = datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(hours=1))

paris = hill_valley.astimezone(tz)
