262 PointsHello..I am using the .remove () and I think I am reading the list incorrectly.
The number 5 is the last item on the list?
states = [
'ACTIVE',
['red', 'green', 'blue'],
'CANCELLED',
'FINISHED',
5,
]

You are correct. The '5' is the last item in the list, so to remove it, just put the value into the parenthesis.
states.remove(5)
Keep Coding! :)

262 PointsHI Jason :) It is this? states.remove(5)?

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsFor Task 1 of the challenge, yes. That is the code that you need to pass. :)

262 PointsI have been getting a syntax error.

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsYou shouldn't been getting any errors for that code. Weird?
This is what it should look like (including the pre-loaded code) for Task one completion.
states = [
'ACTIVE',
['red', 'green', 'blue'],
'CANCELLED',
'FINISHED',
5,
]
states.remove(5)

262 PointsI just realized I was trying to type my answer on the line of code with ] so that is why it kept saying syntax error. Thank You.
