Here's another fundamental of Python: Error messages are really REALLY
useful. In this case, I can figure out what's going on without seeing
it, but normally, post the whole traceback. The problem here is
because you're using "smart quotes" of some sort. Use ordinary
apostrophes and double quotes, and it'll work fine.

As to the reason for changing the int to a string... try skipping it!
Then you'll know. You'll get a nice tidy error, pointing you to the
exact cause of the problem.

>>> print minutes + ':' + seconds

See what happens!
