Netlogo, rnd:weighted-one-of-list reports couples of values

So, I'm using NetLogo and I'm trying to get a procedure which assigns each turtle a list of the hours of the day when they have to perform a certain task, which they have to do 6 times a day.

I want some hours to be more likely to be those where most turtles perform the task than others, because of this I used rnd:weighted-n-of-list in the following way below.

I can run the program, but then, if I inspect one of the turtles, insted of something like action-time: [ 2 7 9 13 17 21 ], which is what I'm intending to get, they show action-time: [[2 0.02] [7 0.04] [9 0.08] [13 0.04] [17 0.04] [21 0.04]].

I'm not sure of what I'm doing wrong, I checked a couple of times that the weights sum 1.00 and the anonymous-reporter, but I can't still manage to get it to work as I would like to.

to probability
  let hours     [ 0      1      2       3       4       5       6      7      8      9      10     11     12     13     14     15     16     17     18     19     20     21     22     23  ]
  let weights   [ 0.04   0.04   0.02    0.02    0.02    0.02    0.04   0.04   0.08   0.08   0.08   0.04   0.04   0.04   0.04   0.04   0.04   0.04   0.04   0.04   0.04   0.04   0.04   0.04]  
  let combination  (map list hours weights)
  ask tutles [
    set action-time rnd:weighted-n-of-list 6 combination [ [p] -> last p ]
  ]
end

Since you want only the first value of that list, you can use first:

set action-time map first rnd:weighted-n-of-list 6 combination [ [p] -> last p ]
