There's something wrong with Treehouse's quizs...

It says "task one is not passing", but previous steps are checked as correct. Wondering if the following code is right?

Task 1: full_name = "Ci Yuqian" name_list = full_name.split()

Task 2: greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()

Task 3: greeting_list[3] = name_list[0]

greeting_list.py 
full_name = "Ci Yuqian"
name_list = full_name.split()

greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()

greeting_list[3] = name_list[0]

Hello,

The problem is with your last line, you have an off by one error in your indexing, which is causing an Exception, which is why its saying that step 1 isn't passing(I'd also think that it should just say you have an Exception instead of saying part 1 isn't passing). Please let us know if you need any more help in solving your issue, and if so, please provide your updated code so we can help you from where you end up at.
