The question wants : Finally, use the .insert() method to place the string "start" at the beginning of your best list. You need to add in the index of 0. because the first element of the list is at the index of 0.

# Finally, use the .insert() method to place the string "start" at the beginning of your best list.
best.insert(0, "start")
