Alright, my list is messy! Help me clean it up! First, start by moving the 1 from index 3 to index 0. Try to do this in a single step by using both .pop() and .insert(). It's OK if it takes you more than one step, though!
messy_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]
for list in messy_list:
list = messy_list.insert(0, messy_list.pop(3))
return list
# Your code goes below here

Your for loop is incorrect, and not actually needed for the task. But you have actually figured out how to format the input method correctly.
If you remove your loop and return statement and just keep the insert code like this:
messy_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]
messy_list.insert(0, messy_list.pop(3))
Then you will be able to pass to the next task.

messy_list.remove("a") messy_list.remove(False)
print(messy_list)

messy_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]
messy_list.pop(3) messy_list.insert(0, 1)
