Hi. This one was a bit confusing for me as well.

Your method signature (def roll(cls, sum)) looks correct but you have to do a few things:

Create a new instance of the Hand class and assign it to a variable:
```
my_hand = cls()
```
This will use our class method to create a new instance and assign it to my_hand
Append a D20 to your Hand equal to the number of dice given as an argument to the roll classmethod
```
for _ in range(sum):
    my_hand.append(D20())
```
This will enumerate a range the length of the variable that you passed (that you called sum) and append a new D20 instance to the my_hand variable.
Then return the Hand of D20s.
```
return my_hand
```

So altogether you would have something like this:

    @classmethod
    def roll(cls, sum):
        my_hand= cls()
        for _ in range(sum):
            my_hand.append(D20())
        return my_hand
