The error message says "before: '.'"
So look for dots.
I can see two of them.
                                                           v  v
time:elapsed_time(Answer = fun() -> io:format("Sucess") end. ).
                                                           ^  ^

So it has to be one of those places.
Hint:  when is it legal to have a full stop *inside* a
function definition?

PS: it's "Success", not "Sucess".
