GTN: Comments mis-matching with Code

In Week 1 of Course 3, in the second assignment, i.e., GTNs, I am slightly confused between the comments and the code as they are slightly mismatching.

In the above code cell, we defined the number of inner loop iterations as 32 and the number of outer loop iterations as 5.

In the comments, after a few code cells, it is mentioned that the number of outer loop iterations is 50. Are these 2 different, or is there an error in the comments? Additionally, it is mentioned that the teacher is so good that it gets your student to a 90% validation accuracy with 32 iterations. How is it 32? Shouldn’t it be 50*32 or 5*32, since the student is trained in a nested for loop?

Thanks, @Elemento! You’re right. I’ll submit a ticket to get this fixed.

Also, I noticed that, at least for me, with the current outer loop iterations = 5, we don’t get to the 90% validation accuracy mentioned. We need more iterations to get there. @Elemento, did you see the same thing?

Yes @Wendy, I noticed the same thing as well. After the 5th outer loop iteration, the validation accuracy was still 83.59% as opposed to the stated 90%.
