Thanks, Thale van der Sluijs

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

states.remove(5)
states.remove('red','green','blue')

You forgot the [] around the "red", "green", "blue".

Try this instead:

states.remove(['red','green','blue'])

Good luck! ~Alex
