if/else if/else challenge - guidance please

The "preview" gives me an error for one too many "{" and refers to (19,0) and (19,5)...I have changed a few things but the code looks correct. What am I missing? Cheers!

CodeChallenge.cs 
string input = Console.ReadLine();
int temperature = int.Parse(input);

if(temperature <= 20)
    {
    Console.WriteLine("Too cold!");
    }
else if(temperature == 21)
    {
    Console.WriteLine("Just right.");
    }
else(temperature >= 22)
    {
    Console.WriteLine("Too hot!");
    }

A plain "else" does not take a conditional clause.

It doesn't need one because it handles all cases not covered already by the if and else if conditionals above it.

Also, check the instructions again. Both 21 and 22 should be considered "Just right."
