Question

```Swift

    case Medium(String)
    case Fast(String)
}
func printSpeed (speed: Speed) -> String  {
    switch speed {
    case .Slow(let slow):
        println("Slow")
    case .Medium(let medium):
        println("Medium")

Here is the answer! I had to do what Jennifer Jones said and use raw values instead of associated values. Thanks again, Jennifer.
```swift  
enum Speed: String {
    case Slow = "Slow"
    case Medium = "Medium"
    case Fast = "Fast"
}
func printSpeed (speed: Speed) -> String{
    switch speed {
        case Speed.Slow:
            return Speed.Slow.rawValue
        case Speed.Medium:
            return Speed.Medium.rawValue
        case Speed.Fast:
            return Speed.Fast.rawValue
        default:
            return "Unknown"
    }
}
```

Hi @Jennifer Jones (https://teamtreehouse.com/jenniferjones3),
It's still not working for me. 
```"Swift"
enum Speed {
    case Slow(String)
    case Medium(String)
    case Fast(String) }
func printSpeed (speed: Speed) -> String {
    switch speed {
        case .Slow(let slow):
            return slow.rawValue
        case .Medium(let medium):
            return medium.rawValue
        case .Fast(let fast):
            return fast.rawValue
        default:
            return "Unknown" }
}
```
