So the exact same code that Kenneth is running, except he doesn't get an error and I have. I've spent 20 minutes looking at my code but can't understand why it's spitting out this error. I have passed in an argument to super() as far as I can see I passed name at the very least.

P.S. If anyone could tell me how to set python syntax highlighting here in Treehouse that would be great. The Markdown Chatsheet just redirects to the forums.
