Hi abdul,

First, the code challenge is asking us to "Put 3 numbers and 2 strings into it". In your solution everything is a string. Second, there are scenarios where we are required to Add lists, as you have done, but this will not solve our problem because the last part of the question is asking us to add another member, a list. In the solution that you have given, the last member will be 'oo'. Try appending this new list to the variable named my_list.
