VueJS Watchers Issue

So, I am working my way through the Vue Official Guide. However, I am using Single File Components instead of the Vue Components that the examples use and have run into a snag on the Watchers section that I have been beating my head against my desk about--fatigue may be a contributing factor here. The issue is that I keep getting an error that says this.debouncedGetAnswer() is not a function. The result is that the watcher never actually finishes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The issue is with a misplaced }.

What you have is trying to include created and methods as part of your watch.

If you move the } on line 64 to between lines 32 and 33 that should put you back on track, but admittedly I'm not getting anything other than the "Questions usually contain a question mark" answer in Codesandbox.

It's working when I run the code locally after moving the } though...

The second issue was a misplaced ).

On line 49 the conditional should have been written:
if(this.answer.indexOf('?') === -1) whereas I had if(this.answer.indexOf('?' === -1)).

Fortunately, you made me conscious of such possibilities :)
