states = [
'ACTIVE',
['red', 'green', 'blue'],
'CANCELLED',
'FINISHED',
5,
]
states.remove(5)

Try remove the brackets around the item in remove.
.remove(5)

'ACTIVE',
['red', 'green', 'blue'],
'CANCELLED',
'FINISHED',
5,
] # you are missing this closing-bracket
states.remove(5) # change 'my_list' to 'states'

495 PointsIt still says wrong, these are the instructions: Ugh, I made this list and now it has some invalid pieces in it. Maybe you can help me clean it up. Use the .remove() method to remove the last item from the list, please.
