Your code looks as though you are trying to output a string "This is attempt #47" or whatever whereas your input command is asking the user for an attempt number - at least that is what it looks like to me, no doubt Alan will correct me if I am wrong 😊

If it is the case then your command should be print("This is attempt #" + str(counter)) I think.
