OK, I must admit that my knowledge of Fortran syntax is poor, so I had
done a quick search and found
https://pages.mtu.edu/~shene/COURSES/cs201/NOTES/chap02/declare.html
which seems to suggest that the syntax is "TYPE :: VARS", which seemed
different enough from "TYPE VAR".

OK, I'll grant you half points for Fortran, so you're up to 62.5% ;-)
