    So. I was wondering why I still dont get correct answers for some tests, though I saw no error in my code. Ok, I have then, in despair, looked in the Editorial and voilà: Y is considered a consonant in English! Well, it's actually a bit complicated with this letter in English, as I have learned recently, but in many other languages, "Y" is a pretty normal vowel - maybe if it was stressed in the instructions, which letters are considered vowels, it would be no harm to anyone and help for many.

    Tough! started by working out all possible words, then looping through several time before it clicked! 

    string_length = len(string)
total_words = total = sum(range(string_length + 1))
kevin_score = sum([string_length - x[0] for x in enumerate(string) if x[1] in 'AEIOU'])
stuart_score = total_words - kevin_score
print("Draw" if kevin_score == stuart_score else f"Kevin {kevin_score}" if kevin_score > stuart_score else f"Stuart {stuart_score}" )
