Syntax error 5 at line 6, but nearly identical code is accepted earlier in the script.

I've made countless attempts to change parenthesis, quotes, etc. and updated the entire script to match, but continue to get the same error in the same place. I need help from someone smarter than I am! Any thoughts?

*Field1 has an export value of 1, 2, or 3.

*Field2 is a number

1 var v = this.getField("Field1").value;

2 var l = this.getField("Field2");

3 if ((v==1) && (l<21)) event.value = l;

4 else if ((v==1) && (l>20)) event.value = (Math.ceil(l/2))+10;

5 else if (v==2) && (l>0) && (l<5) event.value = (l-1);

6 else if (v==2) && (l>4) && (l<9) event.value = (l-2);

7 else if (v==2) && (l>8) && (l<13) event.value = (l-3);

8 else if (v==2) && (l>12) && (l<17) event.value = (l-4);

9 else if (v==2) && (l>16) && (l<21) event.value = (l-5);

10 else if (v==2) && (l>20) event.value = (Math.ceil(l/2))+5;

11 else if ((v==3) && (l<21)) event.value = Math.floor(l/2);

12 else if ((v==3) && (l>20)) event.value = (Math.ceil((l-20)/2))+10;

13 else event.value = "";

Line 5 is not valid, the count is perhaps one off as it often is.

I found that page I linked to has a very poor specification as it says you must have

if ( condition ) { block }

but this is also acceptable

if ( condition ) statement

Anyway, the rule that you must have brackets around the condition (even if the condition includes sub-conditions with their own brackets) is a real one.
