Those quotes do not look like the standard double quote. I copied your code into Visual Studio, and it immediately complained about those quotes. I replaced them with a standard double quote, and it worked fine.

Eugenio;

It looks like you are using the wrong character for your quotes around rocks! Did you just cut and paste from the task instructions?

Happy coding,
Ken
