The challenge says, "Rewrite the columns track list using repeat notation.", so you won't need to make any changes to the rows. Also:

  • there should not be a space between "repeat" and the open parenthesis
  • multiple terms (including "repeat"s) are separated by spaces (semicolon only at the end)
  • the 2nd term of a "repeat" needs to be a complete value (number and unit)
  • you'll still need some of the individual values
