You have to put the media query at the bottom. Otherwise, the later css could overwrite it.

In general, it's a good idea to add new code after any provided by a challenge.

In this particular case, there is already a rule for h1 elements that includes a setting for font-size. This rule will override anything of equal precedence added to the top of the file.

Even outside of challenges, it's good practice to put media queries last or in a separate file that is included last, for exactly the same concerns about rule precedence.
