Why does this give me an indentation error?

I’m having trouble with this exercise and a couple other like this…

Here’s my code in a repl.it so all the spacing/indention will be the same:

I feel like it should work, but instead I get the error:

 File "script.py", line 4
    return True
              ^
IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level

How do I fix this?

Replace all the indentation manually with two or four spaces.

Huh. Ok, thanks, that works. I’m confused as to why though…

Mixed tabs and spaces is usually the problem.

We can get around this with a simpler return statement…

return num1 > num2 * 2
