The instructions for this task definitely isn't the clearest.

What they want you to do is provide an argument to the random_age function call. Arguments are values that are placed in the parentheses that follow the function name.

So if you wanted to call random_age with an argument of 20 it would look like this:

random_age(20)

So all you have to do is fill in a number within the parentheses of the random_age function call that is placed at the last line of the challenge code.
