2,557 PointsCSS Media queries
After the first breakpoint, create a second breakpoint for devices 660 pixels wide or larger. Inside the breakpoint, set the body background to the color darkgreen.
@media screen and (min-width: 660px) { body { background: darkgreen; } }
How come it's not accepting my code? I've tried everything...or so it seems.

5,820 PointsHmm...this is baffling. It seems like the code is not recognizing your second query at all. Make sure you properly closed the first media query before starting the second one. So for instance, there should be two closing curly braces before the second query starts.

@media screen and (min-width: 660px) {
body { background-color: darkgreen; }
}

5,820 PointsI just recently completed this code challenge. The code you posted seems to be correct to me. I went back to this challenge to copy/paste what you posted and it passes for me. Have you checked to see if there is a stray character floating around in your file somewhere? Here's what I used:
@media screen and (min-width: 660px){
body{
background: darkgreen;
}
}

5,820 PointsWhat's the error that you are getting?

12,438 PointsJust a random guess but maybe it is not passing you because you are not indenting it.............maybe try that because the code does look correct.

Bummer! Did you change the background color to darkgreen for devices larger than 660px?
Grrrrr....
