Task 1 no longer passing? How? Task 1 is to import random

I am getting the error that Task 1 is no longer passing. Task 1 for this code challenge was to import the random library. I did do that, the Task passed when I did, and nothing has changed to that particular line.

even.py 
import random

start = 5

while start:
    num = random.randint(1,99)
    if even_odd(num) == True:
        print("{} is even".format(num))
    else:
        print("{} is odd".format(num))
    start -= 1
def even_odd(num):
    # If % 2 is 0, the number is even.
    # Since 0 is falsey, we have to invert it with not.
    return not num % 2
