a_list=[1,2,3]
The question asks me to copy that list with a slice. Why doesn't the following answer pass the question?:
a_list=a_list[:]

You have the right slice syntax but went a little too far for what the question was asking.
It only wants to know what you would put after a_list in order to make a copy of it.
So you would only put the slice syntax in the blank.
