challenge bugged ?

Hi guys,

In the chellenge after this video i reach 3rd step and when I check it tells me : "It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing." but I don't touch import statement which is added in 1 step is the challenge bugged ? my code in 3rd step : 

import random

start = 5

def even_odd(num):
    # If % 2 is 0, the number is even.
    # Since 0 is falsey, we have to invert it with not.
    return not num % 2

while bool(start):
    rand_num = random.randint(1, 99)
    if even_odd(random_num):
        print("{} is even".format(random_num))
    else:
        print("{} is odd".format(ransom_num))

    start -= 1

Hi Adam,

The challenge is fine - but you started calling your variable rand_num then used random_num and ransom_num in the following lines. Get those consistent and your code passes.

the code doesn't work for me. Everything is the same as his minus the random errors he has but it still wont work.
