I think the test has some kind of bug

I check several time the results and looks OK to me

slices.py 
def first_4(rango1):
    f = rango1[0:4]
    return f

def first_and_last_4(rango):
        b = rango[0:4]
        c = rango[-4:]
        d = b + c
        return d

def odds(rango3):
    return rango3[1::2]

def reverse_evens(rango4):
    return rango4[-1::-2]

Hey Igor,

You're half correct. Your method does work when the list has an odd number of items in a list, but if the list has an even number of items, it will return reverse odds. Here's a hint: Have you tried an 'if' statement with a modulo (%)?
