How to bind variable for Contact standard controller

Hey, 

I am working on "Create a Visualforce page which shows a basic Contact record". I have everything displaying as long as I provide an ID in the URL. The problem is it does not accept it as a solution. 

What does it mean by bound (binding) to a variable?

Hi Grady,

I don't have a clear explanation about Bound (bind) variable actually means, but I will try to explain what I get from it. The BIND variable is the variable name TIED with the controller, in this case the bind variable for the Contact controler would be Contact.

Using the standard controlar (<apex:page standardController="Contact">) and referencing it as {! Contact.FirstName } would be accepted as solution.
---------------------
<apex:page standardController="Contact">
    <apex:pageBlock title="Contact Summary">
        <apex:pageBlockSection >
            First Name: {! Contact.FirstName } <br/>
            Last Name: {! Contact.LastName } <br/>
            Contact owner: {!Contact.Owner.Email} <br/>
        </apex:pageBlockSection>
    </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>
