Make sure when you ask a question about quizzes you copy and paste the question. Quizzes are in random order so we won't always know what question is giving you issues.

I haven't programmed in python much, but it seems like the (result = 'test' + 5) causes an typeError, witch make the program skip print(b) and since it's not an valueError it skips print(c) as well. The try block catches the error internally and the else statement doesn't run. At the end, the print(f) runs, and the program finishes.

Not 100% sure, but think this is the main essence. Hope it helps.
