no nothing is wrong, just my code is faster

The friends_list is not random enough and always follows the order of the original list: ['john','matt','alex','cam',....].

Better take a random sample instead.

Actual tests - Random test section:

1. Line 36: Random test's it block messages should match parameter names in the initial solution:

   @test.it(f'w = {w}, h = {h}')
              ^        ^
   should be width, height
   

2. Line 38: result variable is defined but never used

   test.assert_equals(user, sol(w, h))
                            ^^^^^^^^^
                       better use result here
