OK - thanks for that - so it seems that using a Set will complicate the matter more. Really, I want to have a set of sets which won't have any duplicates. An example might look something ilke this: sums = [['1) 10 + 2 =', '12'], ['2) 13 + 4 =', '17']] return sums How might I achieve this list, without the duplicates (the duplicate bit is the bit I'm stuck on).
