You have to add three javascript objects to the array like var arr = [1, 2, 3] but instead numbers, objects. If you don't know how to create an object, I recommend you to watch the previous videos.

Just like in the preceding video:

var objects = [{question: "How", answer: 12}, {question: "When", answer: 6}, {question: "Where", answer: 14}];

// example of an object literal:
var myObject = {
   name: "Alice",
   age: 28,
   getName: function(){
      return this.name;
   }
}

// example of an array literal:
var myArray = [1, 2, 3, "apple"]


// putting an object literal inside of an array literal:
var myArrayLiteral = [
     {name: "Alice", age: 28}
     {instrument: "tuba", tones: "low"}
]

There are different ways of making an object. There are different ways of making an array. The examples above show how to create an object and an array the literal way.
