Welcome to the Python tutor forum.  Thanks for posting in text format, 
but you forgot to describe your Python version and operating system.

You forgot to post the rest of the assignment.  As it stands, one answer 
could be:

def the_flying_circus():
     if "the moon" == "green cheese":
         pass
     elif 6*9 == 42:
         pass
     else:
         pass
     return True


Naturally, the function contents don't matter much if you don't call it, 
so you'd need to add a line like:

print( repr(the_flying_circus()) )

to actually call the function.
