The problem is with the function reverse_evens. Solution at workplaces gives correct output but still I get a bummer, why ?
def first_4(item):
return item[0:4:1]
def first_and_last_4(item2):
return item2[0:4:1]+item2[-4::1]
def odds(item):
return item[1::2]
def reverse_evens(item):
return item[-1::-2]

even_index = item[::2]
This is going to take every item with an even index. I think you can figure out how to reverse this on your own. But let me know if you need any more help. :)
