making a snakes and ladders game:
one of the simulations for my task at school is Player blue's position calculation. It says 91 !=98 Blue position calculation error, what is causing this?

from diceroll import roll_the_dice

p1_name = "Red"
p1_position = 0
p2_name = "Blue"


p2_position = 0


snake_heads = [25, 44, 65, 76, 99]

snake_tails = [6, 23, 34, 28, 56]


ladder_bases = [8, 26, 38, 47, 66]


ladder_tops = [43, 39, 55, 81, 92]
