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

Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.

When I recheck Task 1, its working fine. What's wrong with my code?

even.py 
import random

start = 5

while start:
    num = random.randint(1, 99)

    if even_odd(num):
        print "{} is even".format(num)
    else:
        print "{} is odd".format(num)

    start = start - 1

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

try putting the def even_odd function above the while loop.
