what exactly is the question asking? append or change the first item of the name_list

it wants the name_list's first item to be treehouse. After I did that, it said that it fails the first task. What is going on?

greeting_list.py 
full_name = "Gareth Tam"
name_list = full_name.split()
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()
name_list[0] =  greeting_list[2]

Here's a solution

full_name = "name last"
name_list = full_name.split()
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()
greeting_list.remove("Treehouse")
greeting_list.append(name_list[0])
