Hi Lucas

OK so as it states you need to return a string using string formatting to drop in the correct values in place of X and Y.

def summarize(new_list):
  return "The sum of {} is {}.".format(new_list, add_list(new_list))

Ken discusses the usage of this in more detail here: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/python-basics/ins-outs/string-formatting

Hope it helps!
