I'm not sure who's tongue is furthest into their cheek here.

But please, in future show us some code and any error
messages, it does make it easier to answer your question.

But if Steven's inspired guess helped then good for you.

Judging from the code sample you showed us, your problem is too much
white space.  ;->

If you show us the code, we might show you where you go
wrong.  Or are you just waiting for somebody to do your homework and
steal your learning experience?

Yay, a guessing game! I love guessing games!

Let me see... my guess is that instead of writing:

  sys.stdout.write("\n"*9)

you have written 

  sys.stdout.write("\n")

Am I close?

If by some chance I have guessed wrong, perhaps you would like to show 
us what code you have. It's not as much fun as playing "Guess Where The 
Bug Is", but it's usually much faster and more accurate.
