Python Python Basics (2015) Letter Game App Even or Odd Loop

It seems like my code is not working for the Even or Odd Loop challenge. Is there something I'm missing?

I'm using the even_odd() function to test if the random number is even or odd. I'm not sure what's wrong here.

even.py 
import random

def even_odd(num):
    return not num % 2

start = 5

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

You are very close. Check that your strings match exactly what is described in the task instructions. You have an extra trailing space.
