You are overcomplicating the challenge. The instructions state "Assume get_answer() is already written" and the comment above your work states "Assume get_answer() is already defined". So you don't need to define get_answer() yourself. Just do as the challenge asks and nothing more.

In a loop:

  • Assign the value of the get_answer() method to answer
  • Break if answer is equal to "e"

You already have the second one. Just remove any extra code and address the first one.
