Ugh, I made this list and now it has some invalid pieces in it. Maybe you can help me clean it up.

Use the .remove() method to remove the last item from the list, please.

lists.py 
states = [
    'ACTIVE',
    ['red', 'green', 'blue'],
    'CANCELLED',
    'FINISHED',
    5,]
states.remove([5])

You modified the list definition. Don't change anything from the original code; just add:

states.remove(5)

I hope this helps! ~Alex :grin:
