Note that you can only remove one element at a time using .remove(). Presumably you passed the first challenge ok with:

states.remove(5)

To pass the second challenge, add a new line below that one, removing ['red', 'green', 'blue'] - it counts as a single element because it is a complete list.

Your code should look like this:

states = [
    'ACTIVE',
    ['red', 'green', 'blue'],
    'CANCELLED',
    'FINISHED',
    5,
]

states.remove(5)
states.remove(['red', 'green', 'blue'])

Hope that helps!

Thanks! :)
