With what you have try:

my_list=[
    1,
    6,
    4,
    "Apple",
    "Orange",
    ["We", "Gat"]
]

Some things:

  • numbers shouldn't be enclosed in quotes
  • you only want two strings. you have added three
  • the last list item in my_list should be another list

I believe its asking for a list inside a list like this. 

my_list = ["mouse", [8, 4, 6], ['a']]

This is the actual question: This challenge is just meant as a refresher. Create a single new list variable named my_list. Put 3 numbers and 2 strings into it in whatever order you want. For the last member, though, add another list with 2 items in it.
