Define "does not work". What happens when you try?


- the computer catches fire;

- Blue Screen Of Death;

- you get a Python traceback;

- the police raid your house;

- the computer says "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that";

- something else?

If you get a traceback, don't keep it a secret, please copy and paste it 
so we can read it and possibly help.

If you *don't* get a traceback, what value does `posted` get? Please run 
this:

print(posted, type(posted))
