new_list = original_list[:4] # = [1,2,3,4]
new_list.extend( original_list[-4:] ) # = [1,2,3,4,46,47,48,49]

With regards to code challenges, we try not to give the answer right away, but give hints, clues, and feedback in order to assist.
Thank you for your contribution, however. :)

28,690 PointsTo get the last 4 you could use [-4:].
Create a new list, populate it with [:4] from the first list then extend the new list with [-4:].
I hope that helps.
