Frog.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Frog
    {
        public readonly int TongueLength;
        public readonly int ReactionTime;

        public Frog(int tongueLength, int reactiontime)

            TongueLength = tongueLength;

There are two issues:

  1. Task 3 asks you to add another method named EatFly, it does not ask you to change the existing EatFly method. Since part of the point of this challenge is to demonstrate method overloading (which is the act of having multiple methods with the same name) changing the existing method kinda defeats the purpose.

  2. You check if the frog's reaction time is greater than or equal to the fly's reaction time. You should be checking if it is less than or equal to, since having a lesser reaction time actually means that you react to something faster.

If you fix those two issues like this:

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Frog
    {
        public readonly int TongueLength;
        public readonly int ReactionTime;

        public Frog(int tongueLength, int reactiontime)
        {
            TongueLength = tongueLength;
            ReactionTime = reactiontime;
        }

        public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly)
        {
            return TongueLength >= distanceToFly;
        }

        public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly, int flyReactionTime)
        {
            return TongueLength >= distanceToFly && ReactionTime <= flyReactionTime;
        }
    }
}

Then your code will pass.
