I figured out differences come between python2.7 and python3 that handles float divison differently. Please ignore my previous comment.

IMHO, this solution does not work. You can easily test it with: ``` assert sunangle('12:15') == 93.75 assert sunangle('12:00') == 90 ```

what the [:2] or [3:] stand for?

<ul> <li>[:2] - means that we are slicing the string and keeping up to the second character, e.g. from "07:15" we keep "07"</li> <li>[3:] - slicing out three first characters and keeping from the fourth, e.g. from "07:15" we keep "15"</li> </ul>
