It's just because of your formatting (forgetting to specify the currency and the way you wrote the number). Don't worry, it's just a tiebreaker so chances are it won't be needed anyway :smile:

(I'm afraid you actually got 9/10 as you got the number of cancelled streaming services wrong)

*If I was being mean then one of them would have lost on the tiebreaker for not specifying which currency they were working in, but I decided to be generous and give them credit for what was fundamentally a correct answer!

@Pink Unicorn could you please award the rep prize to our two winners?
