- Remember, the challenge said: "You'll need to subtract the first from the second."
- When you subtract two datetimes, you get a timedelta. Timedeltas do not have a .minute property
- Timedeltas do have a .second property.
- Also remember the challenge said that the function: "...returns the number of minutes, rounded..."
Take these into account and I bet you can solve it.

import datetime
def minutes(dt1, dt2): difference = dt2 - dt1 second = difference.total_seconds() minutes = second/60 return round(minutes)

7,454 PointsPlease help me more! I cannot pass this challenge because I don't know why I can't use timedelta.minute when it is working?

7,454 Pointsdef minutes(t1, t2): t = t2 - t1 return t.year* 518400 + t.month*43200 + t.day*1440 + t.hour*60 + t.minute
Is it right? I don't know why I'm doing this :))
