They meant that my_list should contain: 3 numbers, 2 strings, AND a list with 2 items of your choice inside.

So, my_list will contain a total of 6 items: 3 numbers, 2 strings, 1 list

If placing a list inside of another list is confusing, here is an example:

# my_list contains a string and a list with 2 items
my_list = ["some string", ["item1", "item2"]]

Hope that helps. Let me know if not.
