Whenever you get a compile error, use the Preview button.
The preview will show you the actual output from the compiler, which can provide a helpful clue. In this case, it's a bunch of messages saying, "Unexpected symbol `private'"
An access modifier doesn't make sense here, so just remove the "private" from your constants and you should pass the challenge since you did change all the "magic numbers" as required.
