I am not sure at which challenge you got stuck.,either second or third . First of all .append(any_item)- takes only one argument and that argument will be added on to the end of the list . .extend([any_list])- also takes only one argument which is a list and it will add that list to the list on which the operation is perfomed . .insert(index,item)-takes two arguments ,one at what index do you want to insert the item and second what is the item.

I've added the code below which passes all the three challenges ,but i suggest you try it on your own as lists are one of the most important topics in python.

#First Challenge
best=[1,2,3]
#Second Challenge 
best.extend([4,5])
#Third Challenge
best.insert(0,"start")
