Hi there! I feel like you did understand it. In fact, your first variable has a list that meets both requirements. The second list should contain at least one 'e'. The first one wants a 't' at the index of 5 which is what your first list contains. The second step wants an รจ at negative two, which again, is what your first list contains. But your second list only contains numbers.

Because the first list contains all the requirements of both, you could do this:

var_two = var_one

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
