I can not figure out what is wrong with this code. Why does it keep saying that Task 1 is no longer working?

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

I'm supposed to remove "5" and the colors in the list.

Is your code properly indented?

hmmm, I'd have to see the challenge but for what its worth, your code does remove "5" and the array "[red, green, blue]".

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