I can't find a solution to struct challenge

We've updated the way we're tracking minutes and hours. Now, both are stored as int fields in a struct type named Clock. Write a Noon function that returns a new Clock value with its Hours field set to 12, and its Minutes field set to 0.

src/clock/clock.go 
package clock

type Clock struct {
  Hours int
  Minutes int
}

func Noon() struct {
  // newClock = 
  //newClock.Hours = 12 
  // newClock.Minutes = 0 
  return Clock{12, 0}
}

The instructions ask for a "function that returns a new Clock value", and while your function actually does return a "Clock", it is defined as returning a "struct" instead.

Also, the function is missing the final closing brace ("}").
