[Tutor] Best method for filtering lists in lists...

[Chris Hengge]

Oops, sorry about not replying to the list. I must have hit the wrong
button.

I'm terming a redundant list just like I posted in the original message:
[[1,2,3], [4,5,6],[1,2,3]]

[0][0] and [0][2] are redundant, so I only want to keep one of them.

Thanks again Luke.
