To always return reverse evens, you'll need to compute the starting position based on the list size, or extract the even indexes first and then reverse them in a separate step.

231,248 PointsWell, if you use the 2nd method, you can get just the even indexes using a slice with a step of 2, then reverse that using one with a step of -1:
