Hi Peter,

Could you try adding one more "}" at the end of your file? From what you've posted it looks like you are missing one.

Please let me know if that doesn't work.

Thanks Jon. Now it's going straight to Sorry you must be at least 13...

Better than before but still not right.

EDIT - actually that's what I'm supposed to get. My bad.

in third line console.printf line it should be adverb, not adverd
