Dammit, Jim, I'm just a country doctor, but it looks like you've got 1)
the wrong number of : in the parentheses, or the method name is not
complete, and one of  your arguments is an int, not an id. 

I don't know the full name of your method "processEvent:" but if it were
-processEvent: (int) x With: x And: y

THen I think the second line above would look like:
 M(processEvent:With:And:): 3 : shortestCompMussel1 :
shortestCompMussel2 ];
        ^^^                       ^^^
         full method name here   colon separated argument list here

However, as I recall, you can't pass an int through with the
createActionTo: method, only ids can be there.  Since are frowning on
the casting of ints to ids, you should create an integer wrapper and
rewrite your method so all its arguments are ids.  I think we put that
in the user guide.
