Here's a few hints:

  • you only need to define the function, you won't need to call it
  • you will not need to print anything
  • the function must return the result
  • removing items in a loop from the loop's iterable can cause other items to be skipped over
  • a slice can be handy to make a copy of a list

Also, when posting code use the instructions for code formatting in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area. :arrow_heading_down:   Or watch this video on code formatting.
