I assume they must have changed the accepted answers. Your answer, don, seems to be the same one you tried on page three of this thread, unless I'm much mistaken.

That's annoying, I've entered at least 4 different combinations of answers that are now 'correct' and racked up failures!

Can anyone help please - what is the actual correct answer for this as I have tried and checked and changed, with no success.
Is there some bug in their program that randomly chooses who's correct at some point in time and not others?
Frustrating.

Just as a point of interest, maybe the original answer they were looking for on #4 was
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"earbud?"
That is what those small directly-in-your-ear earphones are called, after all, and it was accepted as correct when I submitted it
