Here's another try; I feel very frustrated that I can't figure this out, and I can't go on (and hope further context clarifies things) until I do! Thanks for any help!
continents = [
'Asia',
'South America',
'North America',
'Africa',
'Europe',
'Antarctica',
'Australia',
]
# Your code here
for continent in continents:
print("* " + continent)
a_continents = continents[0, 3, 5, 6]
for a_continent in a_continents:
print("* " + a_continent)

Python syntax doesn't allow you to assign multiple indexes at once like that, but that wouldn't be the technique that the challenge is asking for anyway.
