This challenge is wrong

I can do task 3, in the preview all is correct, but appears that modify the task 1, so I can't continue with this challenge

greeting_list.py
full_name = 'Moloc mamagueva'
name_list = full_name.split()

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

name_list.insert(0, greeting_list[-1])

It might seem confusing. The challenge is asking you to replace the third item of greeting_list with the first item from your name_list.

You have name_list.insert(0, greeting_list[-1]) which takes the last item of greeting_list and inserts it into name_list as the first item.

What you need is the opposite: greeting_list[2] = name_list[0] which takes the first item of name_list to replace the 3rd item of greeting_list. You can also user your cleaver way of referring to the last greeting_list item: greeting_list[-1] = name_list[0]

Kenneth has updated the challenge wording to clarify this:

Almost done! Now, replace the value of "Treehouse" in greeting_list with the first item in your name_list variable.
