Be careful about testing a challenge in an external REPL or editor.
If you have misunderstood the challenge, it's also very likely that you will misinterpret the results.
In this case, the challenged asked you to return "every item with an odd index", but your code is return the items that have an odd value instead. The correct solution is also much simpler. You just need a slice with the proper parameters.
