I am unsure of what you are asking. By the las memener do you mean the last item in the list is a list of two? aka...

A list within a list? Or do you want me to .append or .extend the list?

lists.py 
my_list = [3, 3, "oh", 1, "wan", (my_list_too = ["oh", "this"])]

Hi Mathew, you don't need to assign a list to a variable name inside another list. 

# my_list is a nested list containing a list inside itself (list)
my_list = [3, 3, "oh", 1, "wan", ["oh", "this"]]

Makes sense?
