235 PointsHow can you remove a list in list while it already removed in an earlier command the 2/2 question itself is wrong
Already in question 1 the list of colors removed using
states.remove(['red','blue',''green']}
how can it be removed again in question 2 again
without assigning the colors back
states = [
'ACTIVE',
['red', 'green', 'blue'],
'CANCELLED',
'FINISHED',
5,
]
states.remove(['red','green','blue'])
states.remove(5)

I'm not sure, but you seen somewhat confused here.
The first task in the challenge asks: " ... Use the .remove() method to remove the last item from the list, please."
The second task in the challenge says: "OK, one more removal. See that second item in states? It's a list of colors and doesn't belong here. Can you get rid of it for me? Be sure to use .remove() again."
states.remove(5) #Task 1 of the Challenge
states.remove(['red', 'green', 'blue']) #Task 2 of the challenge
Maybe you misread? But your code is all correct. :)

216 Pointswhy won't .remove(2) delete the list of colors? Also wouldn't deleting the last item be .remove(4) since it starts from 0?

1,325 PointsThis thread helped answer my question even now. Still relevant! I was trying to use double quotes to remove the colors instead of single, didn't realize that mattered till I read this thread.
