I'm not sure what I'm getting incorrect. I'm using the .remove method and I'm removing the last item in the List

states.remove(5) isn't correct. Why?

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

Hello Dominick,

You have the right answer, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Maybe it's a formatting/indentation issue. Try copying the code below and submitting it.

states = [
    'ACTIVE',
    ['red', 'green', 'blue'],
    'CANCELLED',
    'FINISHED',
    5,
]

states.remove(5)

I hope this helps.
