The "repeat" function takes 2 arguments separated by a comma: the first is the number of times you want to repeat, and the second is what to repeat.

Hint: not everything in the column list will be part of the "repeat".

You got it! But it might be a bit of a "spoiler" for other students to post the final solution.
