Stuck on code challenge - (might be a bug)

Question is:

"Inside the array literal, add three object literals. In other words, the objects array should have three values. Each object should have 2 property/value pairs."

Here is my code for task 2 of the challenge however it's not passing? is this a bug or have i made a mistake?

var objects = [ { name: 'John', age: 17
} { name: 'Rich', age: 21 } { name: 'James', age: 33 } ];

script.js 
var objects = [
  {
    name: 'John',
    age: 17    
  }
  {
    name: 'Rich',
    age: 21
  }
  {
    name: 'James',
    age: 33
  }
];

<script src="script.js"></script>

You're forgetting the commas between your objects.

var objects = [
  {
    name: 'John',
    age: 17    
  }, // Here
  {
    name: 'Rich',
    age: 21
  }, // Here
  {
    name: 'James',
    age: 33
  } // Not here since it's the last one.

has'? the ' is before question mark. should be after. for all your object literals question mark is after the string value

There is an "?" outside of the quotes: 'How many states in the United States'?,

Hope this helps

when using this answer this is the error that I get Make sure you declare the objects array with the var keyword. and I know the var keyword is objects so I don't know whats wrong
