Stuck on last task, HTML tables challenge

the last task says "Create another table row with a cell that spans two columns" ,which i did with the "thanks for reading!" row, but it says its wrong that "one table cell needs to span two columns" how can i fix this?

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

<!-- Write your code below -->
<table border="1">
  <thead>
  <tr>
    <th>Fruits</th>
    <th>Vegetables</th>
  </tr>
  </thead>
  <tfoot>

Hi Kalson,

I'm going to guess the code challenge doesn't want the added row in the table footer <tfoot>.

Yes I agree, I just checked and the code challenge wants you to wrap all rows outside in head in a <tbody></tbody> and not use the tfoot tag. making that change will allow you to pass.
