I understood from the video that a self argument is not required when using new with classes (as the method acts on the class and not on the instance). However, the corresponding code challenge requests, "Define the new method. The new method should accept self and one argument." , which appears to be a contradiction. What am I missing or not understanding? Many thanks in advance for your help, all.
