If you'd like some help with checking your code, show it here; or even better, make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.
It would also be helpful to post a link to the course page you are working with.
UPDATE: I don't know why this causes it to time out, but it looks like you just forgot to include the "public" access specifier on your constructor.
And for future issues, when posting code, use the instructions for code formatting in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area.

231,248 PointsI agree, this time it's not a loop. And I updated my answer.
