Refactoring into a Model - Extra Credit

I'm attempting to complete each of the extra credit assignments at the end of each lesson but I am having a little trouble understanding what is being asked in the extra credit assignment for "Refactoring into a Model" badge. Here is the question:

"Modify the CrystalBall class to work without the @property predictions."

If anyone can provide a little more clarification on this question that would be awesome!

Thanks!

The @property declaration is a convenient way to create an instance variable and provide getter / setter methods to it. The question is asking if you can do it the old-fashioned way without the @property declaration.

The answer is here at 1:27. All you need to do is remove the the @property declaration, create an instance variable and add getter/setter methods.
