If you are playing around at the Python prompt (the >>>), which you really should be to get the hang of this stuff, you might notice that the bracket indexing that you and everyone is talking about works both on strings (Y) and on lists (X: in this case, a list of strings). They may not behave the same way as you expect. Try to imagine what Y[13] or X[3][3] would get you, and why.
