I am getting this error message: "Bummer! best doesn't have five items in it!"
Even though the list should have 5 items...
best = ["rock", "wood", "metal"]
best + ["water", "fire"]

Hey, you aren't storing the new list into anything. That's why it is giving an error. The += notation adds the new list into best and stores the result in best. It is kind of updating the list.
