This task is asking you to move the 1 in the list, so you need to get that 1 first. You got that part right.
messy_list.pop(3)
This will remove the 1 and return it
You also need to put the 1 at index 0, and you can do that with
messy_list.insert(0, 1)
so, if you want to immediately take out the 1 and put it back in index 0, you can put the .pop() call within the insert call:
messy_list.insert(0, messy_list.pop(3))
