Hello Joe,

I think you just got your boolean logic mixed up.

Look at your statement again...

You'll get your broken rule added if any of those three <> statements resolves to true, and from what I can tell, one will always resolve to true, right?

I think you wanted "and" operators instead of "or" ones?
