The instructions say "Create a new rule that targets the span element inside .intro." :point_left: Notice the period in front of the word "intro" — that indicates that it is a class name.

But in the code above, there's a hash mark ("#") in front of the word "intro", which indicates an ID instead of a class. Change it to a period and you'll pass task 4.

I tried pasting your answer directly into the challenge, and when I changed the "#" to ".", it passed task 4.

Maybe something else got changed in the process? Try again, and do what I did (copy from here and paste into the challenge).
