might need more info on what youre trying to do...

 

you cant have something thats false and not false at the same time

Could you possibly get a 2nd screenshot of the directions and such?

An always true statement?

Infinite recursion. You're calling the function in those two conditions, the conditions are always evaluated, recursion goes on forever. To avoid that, you need a base case/ending condition. I can't propose one without knowing what the hell you're trying to accomplish.

Now I'm even more confused.

So what do you need help with, exactly?

   The error at the bottom won't let me won't let me advance but (I think) I have met all the conditions of the challenge.  I was hoping you guys would know how to resolve the error.

I already explained:

 

Infinite recursion. You're calling the function in those two conditions, the conditions are always evaluated, recursion goes on forever. To avoid that, you need a base case/ending condition. I can't propose one without knowing what the hell you're trying to accomplish.

 

Without clearer details on what the point of the exercise is, that's the best I can do.

   This lesson on Code Academy is to test what I learned in the unit about "Conditionals and Control Flow", specifically Comparators, Boolean operators, and Conditional statements.  The goal of the exercise is to write an "if" (if, elseif, else) statement that includes at least one boolean operator, one comparator, and the function (the_flying_circus) must return true when evaluated.

So why the recursion? Just get rid of that and problem solved.

   Got rid of the recursion error, now this.

That is a gigantic hint, I'm not sure that I can explain it without giving it away. The function needs to return true, right, so where in your code is that happening?
