Honestly, I had to re-read this challenge a couple of times to figure out what they were asking... They just want you to take the third item in the tuple (which is 'python') and put it in a new variable called 'item3'. So you start with

item3 =

You get to items in a tuple the same way you do with lists, with brackets [] and remember that it starts at zero, so the third item is [2]. So you end up with

item3 = my_tuple[2]
