The super challenge question has me stumped...

var money = 9; var today = 'Friday'

if ( money >= 100 || today === 'Friday' ) { alert("Time to go to the theater");
} else if ( money >= 50 || today === 'Friday' ) { alert("Time for a movie and dinner");
} else if ( money > 10 || today === 'Friday' ) { alert("Time for a movie");
} else if ( today !== 'Friday' ) { alert("It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out");
} else { alert("This isn't Friday. I need to stay home."); }else if(money===9 || today==='Friday'){ alert("It's Friday.but I don't have enough money to go out") }

script.js 
var money = 9;
var today = 'Friday'

if ( money >= 100 || today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time to go to the theater");    
} else if ( money >= 50 || today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie and dinner");    
} else if ( money > 10 || today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie");   
} else if ( today !== 'Friday' ) {
  alert("It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out");   
}else if(money >= 9 || today ==='Friday') {
alert("It's Friday.but I don't have enough money to go out")
} else {
  alert("This isn't Friday. I need to stay home.");

Hi

You are putting the wrong conditions. The correct code is as follows:

var money = 90; var today = 'Friday';

if ( money >= 100 && today === 'Friday' ) { alert("Time to go to the theater");
} else if ( money >= 50 && today === 'Friday' ) { alert("Time for a movie and dinner");
} else if ( money > 10 && today === 'Friday' ) { alert("Time for a movie");
} else if ( today === 'Friday' ) { alert("It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out");
}else if(money >= 9 || today ==='Friday') { alert("It's Friday.but I don't have enough money to go out") } else { alert("This isn't Friday. I need to stay home."); }

First, you are using ors instead of ands. Replace all ||s with &&s.

Second, you are missing a curly brace } to close the statement.

Also, you changed this message:

It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out

To:

It's Friday.but I don't have enough money to go out

The challenge is picky about output, so you aren't allowed to edit that.
