I try to overload the methode, but i can't get it working.

The question is to overload the methode, but it seems to be stuck or i have some wrong code somewhere i can't quite see it.

Frog.cs 
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;
        }

    }
}

Apparently the challenge does not like a space between the first argument and the comma, even though it is perfectly legitimate code. You might report this as a bug to Treehouse Support, it may get you "a special Exterminator badge".

You also compared your reaction time using the "greater than or equals" (>=) operator. But a faster reaction time would be less than.

I'll bet you can fix it with these hints and without an explicit spoiler.

There was a problem with the code challenge not accepting spaces. This has been fixed now.
