231,275 PointsThe instructions say to " select the intro class", but your selector targets "intro" elements (not a standard element type) that are inside parents that have a "p" class.
Re-work your selector to target only the "intro"class, and remember that classes should be prefixed with a period.
Also, the extra precision of the pixel value seems to confuse the challenge. Try using only the significant digits.
