Ken Alger
Treehouse TeacherNeed to check what it takes to pass?
So, while working on this challenge I wrote something incorrectly in my code and the error I got was "Bummer! Expected 2, got 6". So I figured I would run a little test to see if that is all it was checking. So...
# THIS IS A TEST OF THE CHALLENGE

# It passes the challenge, but it is not what you want to do.

Perhaps Kenneth Love can have someone take a look.

Thanks for the update. I solved the challenge a while back and was revisiting it tonight and thought I would do the test which I posted. Like I said, it gets you through the challenge, but I'm quite certain it is not useful, educational code, nor the intended way in which Mr. Love designed the challenge to function.

Treehouse Guest TeacherI should probably add some AST validation to the challenge, yes. Ultimately, though, it becomes a balancing act between forcing you to write code that matches my ideals and just making sure you gave me the right answer.

No worries, just wanted to make sure that it wasn't a bug in the system or something.
Keep up the great work and thanks for all you do.

I got the same error until I realized the problem is asking how many keys in the list are also in the dictionary.
