OK, one more removal. See that second item in states? It's a list of colors and doesn't belong here. Can you get rid of

how do i remove it

lists.py 
states = [
    'ACTIVE',
    ['red', 'green', 'blue'],
    'CANCELLED',
    'FINISHED',
    5,
]
states.remove(5)
states.remove(['ACTIVE'])

Hello! I tried the same, but it doesn't work for me neither. The warning message says: "You should have used .remove() twice now."
