Not sure where to go from here.

- notice that "musical_groups" is a big list of smaller lists
- if you looped through the big list, your loop variable would hold a smaller list
- you could then join and print each smaller list

Python Development Techdegree Student 1,826 PointsAs I was typing a reply I figured it out. Thank you for your help. I thought the way the multidimensional list was made was a little confusing. But it worked out. Thanks!

524 PointsI still can't get this to work correctly, my approach is if the index is an odd number then join it with the other values of an odd index but that works in code but it fails the question, I was also trying to pass the index number to a function I defined which worked but didn't pass the challenge? Is there only 1 right answer for this?

231,269 PointsSounds like you're getting to fancy. The challenge just wants you to show each list of members for task 1, and for task 2 do the same but only for groups with 3 members. There's no "even" or "odd" testing needed.
If you're still having trouble, start a fresh question (you should never add a question as an "answer") and be sure to show your code.

Python Development Techdegree Student 1,826 PointsI'm supposed to loop through each group and output the members joined together with a ", " comma space as a separator. Pretty lost
