    My code fails for the last 7 cases. Any reason why?

        a = b = 0
    for i in range(len(coordinates)):
        coordinates[i][0] = float(coordinates[i][0])
        coordinates[i][1] = float(coordinates[i][1])
        a+=coordinates[i][0]
        b+=coordinates[i][1]
    a = a/len(coordinates)
    b = b/len(coordinates)
    f = float('inf')
    mp = [0,0]
    for i in range(len(coordinates)):
        if math.sqrt((a-coordinates[i][0])**2+(b-coordinates[i][1])**2)<f:
            f = math.sqrt((a-coordinates[i][0])**2+(b-coordinates[i][1])**2)
            mp = coordinates[i]
    mindist=0
    for i in range(len(coordinates)):
        mindist +=  max(abs(mp[0]-coordinates[i][0]),abs(mp[1]-coordinates[i][1]))
            
    return(int(mindist))
