Hi there,

Jeremy has a point, though it looks like the text in your post includes an em value (even though the code does not).

It seems to work with the value below, so I suspect your slight rounding is causing the code challenge to reject your answer.

h2 { font-size: 3.3125em; }

Hope that helps! :-)

you need to give your number a value type (px, %. etc.)
