Stuck again

It can become gobbledegook when you stare and think about it long enough. Is there a way to get the answers without having to bother people. Can I recomend that Treehouse puts a Timer on the solution e.g if after 10 mins your stuck a solution will appear.

what is the correct answer?

printer.py 
def printer(count):
    print("Hi * {} ".format(2))

Hi Jamie, here is the solution to the challenge:

def printer(count):     #you got this part right
  print('Hi' * count)   #now all you have to do is print 'Hi' as many times as the count argument
                        #you can do this by using the multiplication operator: *

Thank you, I had it as this...

def printer (count):
    print("Hi " * 4)

I guess it just isn't fully clicking with me that i had include the name of the argument i created. That has been happening a lot this last week while learning python.
