Replying to @realpython
@realpython - book 1, Fundamentals Review (page 117 in my PDF downloaded ~a month ago) could use some work. "Sets" are not introduced at all ahead of this exercise making `six` a tricky question for beginners. Running the pasted code you get errors due to misplaced parens.

You should also really have a `print(False)` after `assert value[3] == -1` to make sure the learner is answering the question correctly (for example if I set value[3] = -1 it is easy to miss that the assertion is not failing and there is a 'True' not being printed).
I've been at Khan Academy for almost 3 months now and this is a large part of what I've been working on. Stoked to see it going out to learners everywhere as students head back to school this week! Like everything we do, it's available for FREE! khanacademy.org/

Have you ever tried to learn something… and you just couldn’t? 😣 We've all been there. You're NOT alone. But what if there was a different way to learn... that empowers you to really understand any subject?! πŸ“šπŸ’―πŸ’ͺ Introducing: #masterylearning πŸŽ“

When I wanted to learn something outside of school as a kid, cracking open my encyclopedia was the best I could do. Today, you just have to go online. For students headed back to school (and learners of all ages), here are my favorite learning hacks: b-gat.es/2oHDTBj
