The script you included doesn't actually work, as you're comparing a string with an integer. It will always return false.

Huh, did the kid understand that 3 != "3"? I'd be stumped how to explain that...

Sure give them a cookie and a picture of a cookie.

Epic, I like your analogy!

So good!

Brilliant

I was going to comment the same thing. It can be fixed by addding a conversion in the if like this:

  if int(guess) == lulu + boonie:

instead of

  if guess == lulu + boonie:

Thanks for the catch! Should embed a version a REPL that we're not still working on.

That's the real teachable moment ;P line 9: guess = int(input(question))
