It looks like you copied the task instructions from a challenge. Did you have a particular question about it?

In the meantime, some general hints:

  • you'll need 2 joins for 3 tables
  • each join needs to be made using a column that the tables have in common
  • the common columns may be different in the two joins

You just repeat the same process for the third table. Here's a generic example:

SELECT --(list of fields)
FROM table1
INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.common = table2.common
INNER JOIN table3 ON table1.other = table3.other

The third table can be joined to the first table or the second, based on which one has the other common field.

Give it a try, and if you still have trouble show your entire query code so far.
