And perhaps the easiest way to always return a wrong length is to get the correct length from the list, and then add some small fixed quantity to it.

8,009 Pointsyou only need to change the length of the object. remember: you are inheriting all the properties from the parent class: (list). you just need to override the way the len of the object is determined, by defining len.
