Hi Sebastian,

Your code looks good! I think you're getting mixed up with the challenge here -- you don't actually have to create a dictionary, you just have to define a function that can accept a dictionary.

I don't want to give too much away, but I will say that you don't have to add anything. Measure twice, cut once!
