Could somebody please explain why this code doesn't pass the challenge?

So i've checked by code in a compiler, and also in workspaces and run the code, and it works fine, so there's no syntax errors.

The error I'm getting from the code challenge is 'wrong number of prints', yet it asks me to print either {} is odd or {} is even, which I have done.

If I'm making a mistake can someone please let me know? Otherwise this looks to be a bug?

even.py 
import random

start = 5

def even_odd(num):
    # If % 2 is 0, the number is even.
    # Since 0 is falsey, we have to invert it with not.
    return not num % 2

while start == True:
    rand = random.randint(1, 99)
    if even_odd(rand) == True:
        print("{} is even".format(rand))
    else:
        print("{} is odd".format(rand))
        start -= 1
