@sonicrosebeam So you are being asked to look at the code provided as an example:

```python
# Add 7 to Laszlo's number to get Erzsebet's number.
# Move to Erzsebet and say her magic number.
erz = las + 7
hero.moveXY(17, 26)
hero.say(erz)

```

The above code is what you will be using to create more code.

There are 3 steps to the process, the first being given, complete the next two.

# 2

```python
# Divide Erzsebet's number by 4 to get Simonyi's number.
# Go to Simonyi and tell him his number.

```

# 3

```python
# Multiply Simonyi's number by Laszlo's to get Agata's number.
# Go to Agata and tell her her number.

```

Those are the instructions of what to do.

* * *

&nbsp;

Erzsebet’s number is the value stored in the variable `erz`  
or in this case: `erz = las + 7`

Laszlo’s number is the value stored in `las`  
it is: `las = hero.findNearestFriend().getSecret()`

If `las` was 7 then `era` would be 7 + 7 or 14. Does that make sense?

&nbsp;

They are asking you to create a variable for **Simonyi’s number** and **Agata’s number** and then store a value in them. You could use `sim` for a variable name for Simonyi’s number if you wanted  
so: `sim =`

And then you would have to fill in the rest.

They are asking you to create and name the 2 new variables.
