A hard exercise to help build the right mental model for Python data.

It is only clear if you already have a model of how labels work in Python and while it is understandable to me now, I wouldn't say this is anything I would expect

Then again, shadowing variables is allowed in other languages and is also a source of confusion and mistakes at times

The point of the visualization at the Solution link is precisely to help people get the right model of how labels and the data model in general works in Python. See the Explanation link for more details.

Yeah, the visualisation is great, that is for sure
