Challenge Issue: Says I'm not instantiating the dictionary, don't know why...

plist.swift 
import Foundation

// Add your code below
let plistPath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("CrazyInformation", ofType: "plist")
if let crazyInfo = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: plistPath) {
}

Says I'm not instantiating the dictionary, but isn't that what I'm doing with let crazyInfo = NSDictionary.... ?

I'm getting a preview error of: swift_lint.swift:7:49: error: value of optional type 'String?' not unwrapped; did you mean to use '!' or '?'? if let crazyInfo = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: plistPath) { ^ !

Hey, I'm new to this language and the lesson didn't go into anything beyond what I'm doing here. Even then, I would think that using the if let ... { syntax is unwrapping an optional safely, no?
