This is my answer: states.remove(['red', 'green', 'blue']), but I keep getting an error. Task is taking too long.

Have anyone seeing this error?

lists.py 
states = [
    'ACTIVE',
    ['red', 'green', 'blue'],
    'CANCELLED',
    'FINISHED',
    5,
]

states.remove(['red', 'green', 'blue'])

I believe your syntax is correct, I believe the taking too long could just be an error on the treehouse side. I'd try it again and see if it is working now.
