I've never heard of JES and know nothing about it.
Fortunately it doesn't look like this problem has much
to do with JES so that's not a problem this time...
However in future when you submit a question (whether
on this list or anywhere else) it will help immensely
if you tell us what the problem is. What output did
you expect? What did you get?
If you get an error show us the full error message.
Also tell us the Python version and OS you are using.
It all helps us to help you.
In this case it looks like a basic error so we can
probably help without the extra details...

So info will contain a character - either 'r' or 'c'

But you are comparing that character to the result of
a boolean comparison. Basically you are asking one of:
if 'c' == True:
if 'c' == False:
if 'r' == True:
if 'r' == False:
None of which makes much sense, so Python returns
False in every case.

So that line never gets executed.
You need to change the code so you can determine whether
the correct answer is 'c' or 'r' and then compare that
to the users input.
Also notice you were asked to time the user, you still need
to add code for that. But for now, focus on getting the
logic bit right.
