Game.py Challenge: Answer that seems to be correct returns "Bummer"

I have entered my answer, which is exactly the same as the only posted by Gerald Wells here:

https://teamtreehouse.com/community/having-a-hard-time-understanding-the-question-and-as-a-result-cant-get-correct-answer

However, I keep getting a "bummer, try again" response. I even tried copying and pasting from Gerald Wells's answer, and it still does not work :,(

game.py 
class Game:
    def __init__(self):
        self.current_score = [0, 0]
    def score(player):
        if player == 1:
            self.current_score[0] += 1
        else:
            self.current_score[1] += 1

Oh you're soooo close! In fact, if I just add one single word, your code passes. The problem is that your method shouldn't just take a player, it should also take self. Take a look:

def score(self, player):

If I copy/paste your code and then add the self, your code passes! Hope this helps! :sparkles:
