It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.

I don't know what this error means?

The task just asked print to console the last item of array.

script.js 
var players = ['Jim', 'Shawna', 'Andrew', 'Lora', 'Aimee', 'Nick'];

console.log(players[5]);
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>

It means exactly what it says, this challenge is divided into two tasks, the first asks you to print out the first item of the array and the second asks you to print out the last. When doing challenges you need to keep the code of all the tasks around, you are usually not meant to remove or change code from the previous task.

Since you no longer have the code to print the first item of the array your code no longer passes task 1. If you add that code back like this:

var players = ['Jim', 'Shawna', 'Andrew', 'Lora', 'Aimee', 'Nick'];

console.log(players[0]);
console.log(players[5]);

Then you will be able to pass the challenge.
