Python stuck

Wow, I just can't stump you! OK, two more to go. I think this one's my favorite, though. Create a function named most_courses that takes our good ol' teacher dictionary. most_courses should return the name of the teacher with the most courses. You might need to hold onto some sort of max count variable.

Does anyone has any ideas for this one? I even do not understand what he is asking for

How about an example: Let's say your dictionary has 3 teachers and their courses. "Peter" has 3 courses, "Paul" has 7 courses, and "Mary" has 5 courses". So calling your "most_courses" function on this dictionary would return "Paul", since that is the name of the teacher with the most courses.

Does that help?
