This is the subject: "Select the class .column and use the flex item property and value that will expand the columns to fill the space of the row."

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.row {
  display: flex;
}

.column {
    align-self: stretch;
}

Here you go:

.column {
  flex-grow: 1;
}

Instead of align-self, flex-grow is the proper rule for this. Took me a minute to figure it out if it makes you feel better.
