Help extracting multiple items from a list

Here's another try; I feel very frustrated that I can't figure this out, and I can't go on (and hope further context clarifies things) until I do! Thanks for any help!

continents.py 
continents = [
    'Asia',
    'South America',
    'North America',
    'Africa',
    'Europe',
    'Antarctica',
    'Australia',
]
# Your code here
for continent in continents:
    print("* " + continent)
a_continents = continents[0, 3, 5, 6]
for a_continent in a_continents:
    print("* " + a_continent)

You were closer in your previous question.

Python syntax doesn't allow you to assign multiple indexes at once like that, but that wouldn't be the technique that the challenge is asking for anyway.
