Was prodding around for last 20 minutes ... wondering is did something wrong here, but challenge was passed. Only thing that confuses me is the "throw new Exception();" ... can it be written in any other format under "catch" ?
int value = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
try
{
if (value < 0 || value > 20)
{
throw new Exception();
}
}
catch(Exception)
{
throw new Exception();
}
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("You entered {0}", value));

It looks like you passed, but did it the hard way.
Glad you thought it wasn't so hard! But you really only needed to add the test (if) and the throw inside it.
The try, catch, and the other throw are all not needed and don't actually do anything, since you end up throwing the same exception again anyway.

1,021 PointsAwesome... i seem to have overthinked the task. So this should be the simplest way to do it.
if (value < 0 || value > 20) { throw new Exception(); }
Or have a i misunderstood?
