Why isn’t this working??!?! Confounded!

Awesome! Now I'd like to see only groups that are trios, you know 3 members. So can you please only print out the trios? It should still use the joined string format from task 1.

musical_groups = [ ["Ad Rock", "MCA", "Mike D."], ["John Lennon", "Paul McCartney", "Ringo Starr", "George Harrison"], ["Salt", "Peppa", "Spinderella"], ["Rivers Cuomo", "Patrick Wilson", "Brian Bell", "Scott Shriner"], ["Chuck D.", "Flavor Flav", "Professor Griff", "Khari Winn", "DJ Lord"], ["Axl Rose", "Slash", "Duff McKagan", "Steven Adler"], ["Run", "DMC", "Jam Master Jay"], ]

for group in musical_groups: print(", ".join(group)) if len(group) == 3: print(", ".join(group))

For task 2 you only want to print the groups that meet your if condition. Remove the print statement above this and you are good.
