import re
def first_number(number):
return(re.search(r'\d', number))
def numbers(fivenumbers):
return(re.search(r'/d' * 5, fivenumbers))
#It says: numbers() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

Your function numbers() only takes one argument. When the task checker runs, it provides two arguments, but only one is allowed by your code. This causes the error that you see.
It is your function that is not accepting the second argument. Please updated your numbers() function to accept a count as well as a string as the two arguments.
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!
