    'South America',
    'North America',
    'Africa',
    'Europe',
    'Antarctica',
    'Australia',
]

Hey Cory Rhodes, your code is close. The challenge is looking for a bulleted list using asterisks *:

“* Asia”, etc instead of just the continent names.

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
