.pop and .insert

Not sure if the instructions say to use both .pop and .insert or one or the other.

lists.py 
the_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]

# Your code goes below here
the_list.pop(1)
the_list.pop(1)
the_list.insert(0,1)

The instructions want both but specifically used on a single line.

To do that you'll want to call pop (on the value of 1, which is at index 3) within the call to insert.
