[Visualforce Mobile] Implementing Object-Specific Actions with Visualforce Pages

Hello,
I can't manage to finish this challenge. I got this error : 
" The 'ShowAssistantInfo' page isn't referencing the Assistant Name variable."
I used the <apex:variable> to create the variables but still got the error.

Here is my code : 
<apex:page docType="html-5.0" standardController="Contact" title="Assistant Information">
    <apex:variable var="AssistantName" value="{!Contact.Name}" />
    <apex:variable var="AssistantPhone" value="{!Contact.Phone}" />
	<p>Assistant : {!AssistantName}</p>
	<p>Phone : <a href="tel:{!AssistantPhone}">{!AssistantPhone}</a></p>
</apex:page>

Thanks

You want to reference the fields "AssistantPhone" and "AssistantName" standard fields on the Contact object, not "Name" and "Phone".

Finised the challenge. It never crossed my mind that these fields were present in Contact.
Thanks for the help Bryan!

To Bryan and Vijay, I want to thank you both for the insight on this challenge. I was running into some issues myself but you both cleared up my errors.
