Hi Colin, Dan,

Thanks for the fix.
This portion below needs to be changed as well: "else if (retries !=
RETRIES - 1)" should become "else if (retries != RETRIES)" because on
success, it now does not decrement retries due to the early break.
Otherwise this message gets printed: "Succeeded after 0 tried" which
was not the original intention.
Please also remove the extraneous newline introduced at 468.
