I think you have a good understanding of the question, as you managed to code a solution that's quite close to the real answer.

At the moment your output looks this:

*Asia
*South America
*North America
*Africa
*Europe
*Antarctica
*Australia

When it should look like this:

* Asia
* South America
* North America
* Africa
* Europe
* Antarctica
* Australia

Notice the missing space, between the asterisk and the country.
