Hi, this method was implemented. But the IConvertible interface was implemented
using a feature of .Net called "explicit interface implementation". When
implemented like this, it can't be access directly. You must cast to the
IConvertible interface so that you can access its methods. You should have
something like this:

partants=((IConvertible)Console.ReadLine()).ToInt32(null);

I hope it helps.
