I assume you are using Python 3, is that correct?

Indentation is significant in Python, so to fix this, you need to align 
your code to the left-hand margin. You also need to import the time 
module. Lastly, you need to fix the SyntaxError on line 1. You have a 
string with an opening quote, but no closing quote:

    "What is your question

Add a closing quote (and a question mark).


import time
question= input("What is your question?")
print("Let me think about that")
time.sleep(10)  #10 seconds wait
print (question)
print ("lol")
