  1. Missing the colon at the end of line 3
  2. There's an extra parenthesis in line 4 that can be removed

Very close! There is a missing colon at the end of the method definition and there is an extra -- or one too many -- parens in the return statement. A return statement is not a function so it does not require opening and, in this case, a missing closing paren.

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!
