Impossible to Pass the "Setting Up Lightning Connect" Challenge

Some of the requirements for this challenge are:
  • The 'Mobile Devices' data source must validate and sync the 'phones' table to result in an external object with the API name 'Phone__x'.
  • Note that you will need to adjust the Object Names for the two external objects from the default setting after the initial sync.
However, this isn't possible because trying to save the external object with the name required results in the following error:
  • Error: The Object Name field can only contain underscores and alphanumeric characters. It must be unique, begin with a letter, not include spaces, not end with an underscore, and not contain two consecutive underscores.
It's therfore impossible to fulfill the requirement that the name end in (underscore)(underscore)x.

Any ideas?

Nevermind, renaming the objects Phone and Phone_Plan will result in the system automatically appending the additional __x to the end of the API name.   >:|
