      Exactly like I did! Nice!

      This is not a correct solution but I do not know why it is passing. You should:

      • Get the max element
      • Return or print its count/frequency.

        In some test cases, the highest (max) element is the one most common - like in example case, where 3 is the most common element. It also passes some test cases. The correct solution is the one with Counter.

      just simple

      return Counter(ar).most_common()[0][1]

      actually :-)
