Got a bit stuck with this one...
Declare a variable named thing of type id and initialize it to nil.
NSArray *thing = @(@id, @"nil"];
What is wrong?

From what I can see the question asking, it is simply a matter of declaring a simple variable.
id thing = nil;
The syntax format goes "type" "name" = "value";
Where you went wrong was in instead of declaring a variable with the type of id, you went further and created an NSArray instead that contained invalid values of an invalid object (the @id, closest thing I could image to being valid would be @"id" as a string) and a string of "nil".
