Hi Caleb,

You only need 3 lines of code in the second step: Loop through each element of the list. If the first character of the element is A, then print that element out in the special format.

Below code snippet exactly does this. 

for c in continents:
    if c[0] == 'A':
        print("* {}".format(c))

(In the loop you have typed above, you are actually printing everything twice.)

I hope this helps.
