230,688 Points Be careful about testing a challenge in an external REPL.
If you have misunderstood the challenge, it's also very likely that you will misinterpret the results.
Remember that the challenge isn't just about creating code that runs. It must also serve a specific purpose. When you work externally you may not be testing for purpose with the same stringency that the challenge does.
If you would like help with this specific challenge, please show the code you were submitting.
