So far, so good. You seem to already have your override established, so now all that's left is to "return true if any value in the array is a repeat of the value immediately preceding it."
So for this you'd probably want to set up a loop that starts at the second item and goes to the end (the length of the array). Then, in the loop body, test if the current item is the same as the previous one, and return false if so. But if the loop finishes without finding a match, return true.
Give it another shot. I'll bet you can get it without an explicit code spoiler.
