24 Error in Code/Text
The errata should be as follows:

"Therefore, the numbers 0 to 20 in decimal...."
if you add the number 14 in the sequence then this sentence will be true. So the number sequence for 0 to 20 in hex should be the following:

0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f,10,11,12,13,14

and not:

0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f,10,11,12,13

">>> tuesday_breakfast_sold != thursday_breakfast_sold False"

two options for correction:
"False" should be "True" because the strings are different.

OR
the "!=" should be "==" and then the "False" is correct.

At the bottom, in "Try It Out", the text sentence should end "ch5.py".
