Is this task faulty?

I am quite sure my answer is correct, however the task is not passing. The same code works as intended in a different IDE. Please check if this task is working properly.

even.py 
import random

def even_odd(num):
    return not num % 2

start = 5
while start:
    rand_num = random.randint(1, 99)
    if even_odd(rand_int):
        print("{} is even".format(rand_num))
    else:
        print("{} is odd".format(rand_num))
    start -= 1

Hello Liviu, you're on the right track, change rand_int to rand_num.

if even_odd(rand_int):
