220,450 PointsYou've got the right idea, but a few issues with the implementation:
- you don't need to define "List"
- "Liar" will be based on "list" (lower-case)
- you don't need to override "__init__"
- the override of "__len__" doesn't need an argument
- use "super()" to access the "__len__" of the parent class, and it won't need an argument
