1,461 Pointswhy is the prompt asking to create a new variable and assign it to the third element of the tuple? The tuple's immutable
Is this a typo?

Treehouse TeacherHey yakky !
You are correct! Tuples are immutable. By definition: "A tuple is a collection which is ordered and unchangeable". It's unchangeable, but you can still grab the value at certain indexes because a tuple is ordered
For this challenge, we just have to grab the value at the 2nd index (since indexes start at 0)
item3 = my_tuple[2]
I hope this helps!
