Not sure what I've missed here, it keeps asking if my size is correct? it is asking for 1.4rem and then 4rem.

<h1>The verdict is in. CSS Layout is great!</h1>
<p>I’ve been working with CSS for a while now, and I have to say, it’s pretty awesome. I love being able to separate content from presentation, and to keep all my styles in an external stylesheet.</p>
<p>I’ve had a pretty good grasp on the basics for a while now, but I needed to learn more about how to control layout with my CSS. Understanding CSS layout meant first exploring the parts of the CSS box model.</p>

<h2>The CSS Box Model</h2>
<p>There are lots of great resources online to help you learn the CSS Box Model. I like the CSS Tricks article <a href="https://css-tricks.com/the-css-box-model/" target="_blank">The CSS Box Model</a> by Chris Coyier. To quote the author:</p>
<blockquote>At the risk of over-repeating myself: <strong>every element in web design is a rectangular box.</strong></blockquote>
<p>That’s right! Every HTML element is considered by the browser to be a rectangular box.</p>
<p>The CSS Box Model consists of four properties: content, padding, border, and margin. I've included a graphic from Coyier’s article to illustrate this principle.</p>
<p class="clear">It’s pretty easy to understand the Content portion of the box model. The content is whatever your HTML consists of. It could be a paragraph full of text, or a bulleted list, or an image.</p>
<p>Beginning developers may have some trouble keeping the other parts of the box model straight, so let’s examine them one by one.</p>

Sometimes the challenge test program is a little troublesome.
This passes both tasks:
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
@media screen and (min-width: 421px) {
header {
background-color: #294969;
color: ghostwhite;
} /*** You were missing this curly brace, for one thing... ***/
}
@media screen and (min-width: 769px) { /*** The test program required the word screen here to pass!?! ***/
#logo { /*** You don't need div here - #logo is sufficient ***/
font-size: 1.4rem;
}
h1 {
font-size: 4rem;
}
}
I hope that helps.
Stay safe and happy coding!
