Ok, so you've created a list of numbers but you need to type it in using proper syntax.

var_one = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 't']

Remember that when indexing a list the first item (when going from left to right) has an index value of 0, then 1, and so on.

The challenge asks that the index value of [5] be the letter 't' in my example you can see that the var_one[5] is the letter 't'.

Hope that helps.
