I seriously don't know what am doing wrong..... anyone?

"in the style sheet, select the intro class and add a font-size property. using 16px as the parent font-size context, give intro an em font-size value equivalent to 20px."

I also tried this

.intro { font-size: 1.25em; /* 20px/ 16px* / }

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
