Hi! The code for the 4th challenge task should be in addition to what you wrote before, not replacing it because you want there to be a box-shadow AND an inner-shadow. The challenge gives the hint "Just like the text-shadow property the box-shadow can take multiple comma-seperated values to add additional shadows to the same element."

So if you have the following from the 3rd challenge task....

.main-header {
  box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa;
}

You should be able to create the inner-shadow by adding a comma to the end of the box shadow values you already have, and then after that comma add the new inner-shadow values.

.main-header {
  box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa, values for inner-shadow;
}

No problem! Glad I could help :) Ha, yes try to pay attention to what the challenges ask, they can be very specific and they do sometimes give you hints to help you solve them. Keep up the good work!!

Just to add, there is an issue with many challenges that will give an error to the prior question when the error is really to the question you just answered.
