I think I may be misunderstanding the request of the task. I feel I understand the general nature here, but I am clearly missing something.
Looking at what I have done, can anyone help me see what part of the question I may be missing?
contact_list = []
def add_contact
contact = {"name" => "", "phone_number" => "" }
contact["name"] = get_name("What is the name?")
return contact
end

Treehouse Moderator 28,716 PointsI totally see where you are going with this-- but they want something a little bit simpler. They are asking only for you to update the existing hash contact, and then push it onto the contact list. See below.
Good luck with Ruby it's a really useful language!
contact_list = []
contact = {"name" => "", "phone_number" => "" }
contact["name"] = get_name()
contact["phone_number"] = get_phone_number()
contact_list.push(contact)

7,110 PointsDoh! I did this to myself a few lessons ago by coding it to get the input referenced too. Thank you so much, Jeff!
