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

I don't understand what's wrong with my code; it works perfectly, exactly to the questions specifications....

I have completed the outlined task to what I understand to be correct. It still wont allow me to advance and I do not understand why, nor is it giving me any reason for the issue.

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