It would be interesting if the wife ask: "do you think i am wrong?" LOL

I don't quite understand what extra piece this is asking for. Could someone explain a bit more explicitly? I have test 1 correct, but test 2 failed.

It's difficult to give much of a hint without giving away the answer. The key is that your function needs to be able to accept ANY input.

In test suit in two cases you showed but answer 'yes' not working

You need to make sure that the function can handle multiple inputs. It really goes to show you that you can't just accept what is given to you as is!
