In challenge task 1 of 3,
Create a variable called "firstitem" that contains the first item from the "grocerylist" array (index 0).
It passed when using "first_item" and "grocery_list". Just FYI

Return is rarely used in Ruby since the value of the last operation you performed is always returned by default, so return is redundant.

36,440 PointsThis question was asked a long, long time ago when the content of the challenge was different. Now it's correct.

13,104 PointsYes I noticed many things like that in the ruby course get overlooked. Instead of "puts" for example I wrote "return" and it accepted it alright which was odd, since on the course I was in, the instructor had never use return yet. In the end of the quizzes it asks for feedback. You can also note bugs there if you haven't tried it already, it might help get those fixed faster, maybe.

9,554 PointsAlright good to know, also further on in the Hash segment, it repeats add key "name" value "milk". But it really wants you to add the key "quantity" and value 1.

36,440 PointsYeah, I told them that as well ;). If it's not corrected by Friday, I will contact them again.
