You are very close. You forgot to leave the parameter cells in the function signature.

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

Hi Isis,

So close!

You just need to leave the passed in list argument 'cells' so you can access it with random.sample

Needs to be:

import random

def get_locations(cells):
    return random.sample(cells, 3)

Nice work though, keep it up!

Dave

Thank you so much for your help!
