datetime.timedelta(timedelta)
You just need the name of the argument being passed into the function;
+ timedelta
That's good enough to pass the challenge. :)

231,236 PointsThat's what I meant by "... since the argument is already a timedelta, it doesn't need to be processed by the method (just add it as it is)."

8,479 PointsSteven Parker - Haha, oh yes, I've just reread your comment. Apologies my friend :).
I retract my answer......Steven Parker's is correct! :P
Steven Parker
231,236 PointsThe instructions are pretty explicit, they say: "Add that timedelta to datetime.datetime.now() ..."
But this code is subtracting instead of adding. And since the argument is already a timedelta, it doesn't need to be processed by the method (just add it as it is).
