This challenge looks like it wants Oklahoma for some reason. Also, cannot pass the challenge, not sure if there is a bug

Question

Seems like there may be a bug. I was able to pass it once, but now the 1st part is not parsing.

slices.py

def first_4(list):
  list = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]
  return list[0:4]

def odds("O","k","l","a","h","o","m","a")
  return odds[1::2]

the correct solution is:

def odds(li):
  return li[1::2]

There're couple of problems in your solutions

You should pass in a list to odds function as parameter, not a bunch of Strings.
avoid using list as your variable name, because list is a predefined function in Python.

You don't need to define the values of the arguments to your functions (it actually won't even work the way you're doing it).
