Just a minor typo, otherwise you got it right. You included an extra space after the semicolor in the split string. Delete the extra space and it will pass.

Best of luck with Python!

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = "banana split;hot fuge;cherry;malted;black and white".split(';')
