      Good stuff! I spent a few minutes floundering at the end trying to find my mistake since it wasn't giving me the happy music.
      I had OSTENSIBLE instead of OSTENSIBLY. Seeming doable sounds like possible to me more than possibly.

        Oh no that’s a typo on my part, it’s meant to be OSTENSIBLE! One of my test solvers had pointed out the exact same thing. Will have to update that, sorry!
