Final challenge! Stuck! Dramatic voice!

I assume you're asking about the doubles method for task 2 — but I'm a bit confused since it looks like you've already started working on task 3.
Anyway, your comparison is good, but you have a stray colon (":") at the end of the line.
And that task 3 code is way too complicated — re-read the instructions and think "simple".

16,761 PointsOops! Good spot Mr. Parker! My question was really about task 3, which I have now completed. Your tip about this task really helped, as opposed to looking at the screen too long, which er ... didn't! Thank you again.
