If you create a new property setting (with or without putting it a separate rule), it overrides the first one cancelling it out completely. But task 4 wants you to create an additional shadow with the first one still there.

So the new values must be part of the same property (and the same rule).

I was trying to add the box-shadow: twice, then I tried to cram both on to one statement without seperating them w/ a comma.
