So this is asking you to create basically another list name var_two in which 'e' is at position -2. Which means 'e' should be on the second slot going from right to left. Something like this should do it:
var_one = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 't']
var_two = ['f', 'e', 'g']
Give it a shot and see how it works for ya.

Treehouse TeacherHi there! You actually did sort of solve it already. It wants a string or a list such as the next to last element/character is an "e". But you did that in your original list. Simply copying the list in the first one and assigning it to var_two would work. But since you already have it in place, you can do something even much simpler.
var_two = var_one
Hope this helps!

I thought that too, but it took me a while to understand it, English isn't my first language
