hello; 2.3 on a gentoo box;

tutorial assignment; what am i doing wrong? thanks

#Modify the password guessing program to keep track of how many times
# the user has entered the password wrong. If it is more than 3 times,
# print "you're screwed, buddy!", or something like that;

passwd = "foobar"		#a dummy passwd
count = 3
current_count = 0
while passwd != "unicorn":
      current_count = current_count + 1
      passwd = raw_input("Passwd: ")	
         if current_count < count:
	    print "no, stupid! try again;"
         else print "three times, you're out!"
print "welcome in"

#without 'count': keep asking for password until the jerk gets it right;
#with 'count': he only gets three chances;
