Hi Anakim, The difference is really in the code path that gets taken: in the first case, you go through `a.__getitem__(np.array([1,6,5])`, in the second through `a.__setitem__(...)`. The increments would not work if you added an extra indexing to it, as in: ``` a[np.array([1,6,5])][:] += 1 ```
(which would do `a.__getitem__(...).__setitem__(slice(None))`) Hope this clarifies it, Marten
