Getting ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis when no extra parenthesis on left

Here is my SQL query:

select hck.hacker_id, hck.name, cnt
from (
    Hacker as hck 
    inner join (
       Select hacker_id, count(challenge_id) as cnt 
       from Challenges 
       group by hacker_id
    ) chl_count on hck.hacker_id = chl_count.hacker_id
) having cnt = max(cnt) or 
cnt in (select cnt 
        from chl_count 
        group by cnt 
        having count(hacker_id) = 1) 
order by cnt desc, hck.hacker_id asc;

Here Hackers has schema:

Hackers(name, hacker_id)

And Challenges has schema

Challenges(hacker_id, ,challenge_id)

I don't see any missing parenthesis in the query. So, what is wrong? Also, other syntaxes such as commas are correct as well.

It seems you are new in Oracle SQL.

You can't do this: "..FROM (Hacker as hck inner join) .." but you can do it like this:

WITH chl_count
     AS (  SELECT hacker_id, COUNT (challenge_id) AS cnt
             FROM Challenges
         GROUP BY hacker_id)
  SELECT hck.hacker_id, hck.name, cnt
    FROM Hacker hck INNER JOIN chl_count ON hck.hacker_id = chl_count.hacker_id
  HAVING    cnt = (select max(challenge_id) from Challenges)
         OR cnt IN (  SELECT cnt
                        FROM chl_count
                      WHERE hacker_id= 1)
ORDER BY cnt DESC, hck.hacker_id ASC;

It should work now.
