Very clever! One small improvement: the call to list repeatedly transforms the keys of the dictionary into a list. By putting this outside the loop and assigning it to a variable we can reduce some duplicated effort.

This works great! As an extra exercise, can you consider how you might write this differently by nesting some of your conditional blocks? Do you think this would make it more or less readable? There's no right answer here, it's subjective!
