I'm not certain, but I believe you would need
to change the order to  'testsync[][2]' ... this
looks like an empty class then one with a single 2
in it, but it's not.  Yours would look like a single
 [ in a class, then a 2 and then... syntax error or
something, since you've got a closing ] without a 
matching opening one.
