You may not be a good liar, but you're a good jokester and a good programmer :) You have the right idea, but you forgot to account for one mathematical gotcha. When the list is empty (len(list) == 0), multiplying by 2 will still return the correct value of 0, because anything multiplied by 0 is still 0. You can play with this however you want, but I recommend adding some arbitrary constant as part of your equation
