CCS values what is the ploblem in "max-width: 940px;"? Because it tells me check the max width value in your CSS.

The values of my CCS are the same they are asking me, I tryed of different ways but I could not, I thing this is the correct way but the Bummer! tells that is wrong.

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none
}
 # wrapper {
    max-width: 940px;
    margin: 0 auto;
 }
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit | Designer</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html" id="logo">

Hey there! There is not a problem with the max-width but instead, the selector. You added a space between the hash and the id of your div. It should be: 

a {
  text-decoration: none
}
 #wrapper {
    max-width: 940px;
    margin: 0 auto;
 }

There is no problem with you css.. You left space between the hash and the wrapper. It should be like this

#wrapper {
    max-width: 940px;
    margin: 0 auto;
 }
