Given a resource named "CrazyInformation.plist" located in the main application directory, first retrieve the path to this resource and assign the string to a constant named plistPath. Once you have the plistPath, create an instance of NSDictionary containing the contents of the plist.
import Foundation
// Add your code below
let plistPath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("CurrentWeather", ofType: "plist")!
let weatherDictionary = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: plistPath )

What passed for me is this:
import Foundation
// Add your code below
if let plistPath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("CrazyInformation", ofType: "plist") {
let dictionary = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: plistPath)
}
To me it almost seems that this Challenge is broken. It never says what constant to load the contents of the plist in to. Also the following does not work for some reason, but in my opinion it should work just as well as the above code:
import Foundation
// Add your code below
let plistPath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("CrazyInformation", ofType: "plist")
if let plist = plistPath {
let dictionary = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: plist)
}
