messy_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]

If you have misunderstood the challenge, it's also very likely that you will misinterpret the results.
In this case, task 1 of the challenge asks you to start by "moving the 1 from index 3 to index 0". So after performing the task as instructed, the "messy_list" will contain "[1, 'a', 2, 3, False, [1, 2, 3]]".
But after running your code, "messy_list" contains "[1, 2, 3, False, [1, 2, 3]]". It's close, but it's not quite the same.

If you're performing a challenge in which they are asking for a specific answer and you're not providing it, they might give an error. As the challenge is coded to receive a specific answer.
