I cannot find a solution

Isn't it right? 

  var genericGreet = function() {
    return "Hello, my name is " + this.name;
  }

  var andrew = {
    name: "Andrew", 
    greet = function() {
        return "Hello, my name is " + this.name;
    }
  }

  var ryan = {
    name: "Ryan", 
     greet = function() {
        return "Hello, my name is " + this.name;
    }
  }

 var genericGreet = function() {
    return "Hello, my name is " + this.name;
  }

  var andrew = {
    name: "Andrew", 
    greet : genericGreet
    }
  }

  var ryan = {
    name: "Ryan", 
    greet : genericGreet
    }
  }

You just need to reference the existing function, that's why I don't put parentheses after genericGreet.

Thanks a lot! I had thought about it but hadn't put it in practice, not that way at least! Thanks!

It wasn't obvious for me neither first time I met that exercise. :)
