When I am on challenge 1 it says I have completed the task but when I add in the task 2 code it then says task 1 is wrong...but no one told task 1 that!
the_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]
# Your code goes below here

Treehouse Guest TeacherCan you show us your code? Generally, task 1 failing after task 2 is submitted means that your code for task 2 either changed the code that passed task 1 or introduced some breaking/wrong code that causes task 1 to no longer be able to run.
Every previous task is run when you submit an answer for the current task.

1,371 PointsI thought I attached this sorry! I'm getting myself confused with this, when I run task 1 it runs but when I add the bottom 3 lines it stops accepting it. It's probably me and a syntax error.
the_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]
# Your code goes below here
the_list.insert(0, the_list.pop(3))
del my_list[0]
my_list.remove("False")
del my_list[3]

Treehouse Guest TeacherI'm gonna walk through your code and comment what'll be in the_list at each step. You can check this out yourself by clicking the "Preview" button in the code challenge.
the_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]
# Your code goes below here
the_list.insert(0, the_list.pop(3)) # [1, "a", 2, 3, False, [1, 2, 3]]
del my_list[0] # ["a", 2, 3, False, [1, 2, 3]]
my_list.remove("False") # ["a", 2, 3, [1, 2, 3]]
del my_list[3] # ["a", 2, 3]
So, Task 1 was to move the 1 to the front of the list and Task 2 required you to get rid of the "a", False, and extra list. Do you see why Task 1 is no longer passing?
