The editor already contains a starting point. Change it until every check passes — the Next task button unlocks when it does.

What you start with

WEIGHTS = {'fee': 3, 'fees': 3, 'timing': 2, 'admission': 2, 'python': 2, 'ai': 2}

def score(question):
    words = question.lower().replace('?', '').split()
    return sum(WEIGHTS.get(w, 0) for w in words)

print(score('What is the Python fee?'))
print(score('Tell me a joke'))
