Nice name!


## Question

Welcome to **The Golden Treasure**

You are stranded on an island with one other person. To get back to land, you have to dig up a treasure. The only problem? The treasure is behind a very secure lock. The only way to break the lock is to ask The Second Monster to open it. The Second Monster demands you to solve a problem he has. Including 0, sum up all the elements at the indexes which divide evenly into 2

This is a great example 👍

You take the elements starting from 0 and then take every 2nd element after that. So it'd be 5+2+19+9

## Sample Solution
```python
list1 = [32,55,1,23,55,46,78]

Looks great here. Only thing is maybe avoid variables like List1 in cases where you are using lots of variables

sum = 0
for i in range(len(list1)):
if i % 2 == 0:
sum+=list1[i]
print(sum)
```
