HI,

I don't know what your question is, but If you're trying to remove the 5, take the [] brackets out in the remove method, you're not removing a list, you're removing an integer.

Mr. Oswalt,

Thanks so much. I truly appreciate this! Little details missed means a whole LOT in coding, that's why I get confused easily.

Have a good week end.
