EatFly method test fails but same code works in Visual Studio

I don't understand why this isn't validating. I've tested the code in Visual Studio and it appears to work. See https://paste.ee/p/c8USS

Current error is if the frogs reaction time is faster it won't get the frog.

Frog.cs 
using System;

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;
        }
    }
}

I understand now.

I misinterpreted ReactionTime and flyReactionTime as speeds. E.g. the higher the value, the faster.

That's why I went with ReactionTime >= flyReactionTime instead of ReactionTime <= flyReactionTime and why the error didn't make sense to me.

Makes sense now. Thanks James.
