Python Python Basics (2015) Letter Game App Even or Odd Loop

Even/Odd task 3

For the last task, it looks to me the code is correct, but keep getting "Wrong number of prints". What is wrong?

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 not start:
    num = random.randint(1, 99)
    if even_odd(num):
        print('{} is even'.format(num))
    else:
        print('{} is odd'.format(num))

    start -= 1

Hi Andrew,

If you change you test to while start > 0: your code is fine.

Thanks Steve, the wrong number of prints was throwing me off.
