Test a custom input to verify an edge case (e.g. empty lists, negative numbers, duplicates).
This bug belongs to the logic errors pattern
The wrong operator, an inverted condition, a formula the right way round but backwards.
What went wrong: sorted() puts the smallest first, so the first three are the worst scores.
The fix: return sorted(scores, reverse=True)[:3]
Remember: sorted() is smallest first. Add reverse=True for biggest first.
The pattern behind it: logic errors.
