ln ~/Documents//project_plans/season2_project_plan.odf ~/Documents/backups/season2_project_plan.odf.back

Okay, thank you for that command. Now, my next question is, did you actually execute that command?

Please check the first given images in the question. It's denoting to the same inode number of the files created in the backups which means, they are hard link.

This seems incorrect :
ln ~/Documents "//" project
why the double backslash?

Seems like it's returning the same result despite having the double backlsh or not. But the point is this lab is returining failure for each exercise, which is weird. I deleted everything and did again, but the end result was same.

Those slashes are NOT back slashes - they are forward slashes!!!! Based on the command that you have shown, you have three (3) pathnames in your command - this is improper/invalid/incorrect!!! For this reason, I asked in my previous reply, did you actually execute the command that you indicated!
