Didn't return the right datetime
import datetime
starter = datetime.datetime(2015, 10, 21, 16, 29)
# Remember, you can't set "years" on a timedelta!
# Consider a year to be 365 days.
## Example
# time_machine(5, "minutes") => datetime(2015, 10, 21, 16, 34)
def time_machine(string, integer):
if string == 'minutes':
return starter + datetime.timedelta(minutes=integer)
elif string == 'hours':
return starter + datetime.timedelta(hours=integer)
elif string == 'years':
return starter + datetime.timedelta(days=integer*365)
elif string == 'days':
return starter + datetime.timedelta(days=integer)

Technically this 'works' though, right? But for the purposes of the challenge, it doesn't?
