I don't know why this code isn't working

it says :

TypeError: 'list' object cannot be interpreted as an integer

lists.py 
messy_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]

# Your code goes below here
letter1=messy_list.pop([1])
messy_list.insert(0,letter1)

"pop" doesn't need brackets inside the parenthesis.

something.pop(1) # Just parenthesis, no brackets

Hope this helps! :)
