Do it a step at a time.

It's a list, so start with indexing.

MRAB:

I think of the file as two lists. The second list appears to be a list of tuples containing 
"names" and "scores". How would you index or extract those.

Right, so lst1[1] gets you closer to what you want.

Further indexing will get you even closer.
