Your "if" statement has unbalanced parentheses:

                if (DateTime.TryParse(values[1], out timeOfDay)   // <-- need another ")"

Also, it looks like you skipped a step (I have no idea how). This code is for task 3, but the task 2 code isn't there.

As the challenge always said, "Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task."
