Shouldn't the Bronze rank else if statement be >=1, not >=2?

The instructions say a Bronze rank should be awarded if the player answers 1-2 questions correct. In the video, Guil writes:

else if ( correct >= 2 ) { rank = "Bronze"; }

This means that a Bronze rank is awarded to someone who answers 2 or more questions correct. That means no rank is awarded to a player who only gets one correct. I changed it to:

else if ( correct >= 1 ) { rank = "Bronze"; }

and it worked.

You're right, I noticed that too. They've since made a correction in the teacher's notes.

I used the logical OR to solve this problem.

if(correct === 5) {
  rank = "Gold";
} else if (correct >= 3) {
  rank = "Silver";
} else if (correct === 2 || correct === 1) {
  rank = "Bronze";
} else {
  rank = "None :(";
}
