Popsicle test - all clear except test case 5, which I can't view

I don't have premium. Here's my code, what could I be missing? siblings = int(input()) popsicles = int(input()) #your code goes here if (popsicles/siblings) %2 == 0: print("give away") elif (popsicles/siblings) == 0: print("give away") else: print("eat them yourself")

I think you can simplify the code by using popsicles % siblings If there are 0 remaining, you can give them away. If it is any other number remaining, you keep them for yourself.

If input is 5 15 Then should output "give away". You can give 3 popsicles to each sibling.. 5*3=15 => 15%5==0

Side note, the original logic wasn't just excessively complicated, it flat out didn't work. Even ignoring the problems caused by integer division (which are always numerous), 15 popsicles for 5 siblings (or any other situation with an odd multiple) would tell you to eat them yourself. In fact though, performing integer division specifically eliminates the remainder, so even with otherwise good logic it would tell you to always share (which isn't the worst idea in practice lol)

Apparently! I didn't do anything to cause this, just copy-pasted
