Hmmm. I was pretty sure I had this right

I thought this was right

age.py 
years = int(47)
years = 47 * 365
days = years - 365

The instructions say to "multiply years by 365 and assign it to the variable days", but this code assigns the result of that calculation to "years" instead.

Also, the value "47" is already an integer, so it doesn't need to be passed to the "int" function. And when multiplying, use the variable "years" instead of repeating the value assigned to it.
