Why doesn't this answer work? list_1 = [1, True, 'HI'] list_2 = [2, False, 'Bye'] list_3 = list_1 + list_2

This answer woks in a normal python environment, it works in the preview, is this a glitch?

lists.py 
list_1 = [1, True, 'HI']
list_2 = [2, False, 'Bye']
list_3 = list_1 + list_2

It looks like it's not checking for types along with equality and True casted to an int is 1, so try swapping out 1 or True for some other value not currently in either of the lists.
