Let's give .main-header an inner-shadow with a second set of box-shadow values. Set the new shadow's horizontal and vertical offsets to 0, the blur radius to 60px, the spread radius to 5px, and the color to firebrick. Don't forget to include the keyword value that creates an inner box shadow.
.main-header { box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa, inset 0px 0px 60px 5px #b22222;
}
.main-heading {
text-shadow: 0 0 5px #be7b31;
}
.title {
text-shadow: 1px 3px 0 #e59740;
}
.main-header {
box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa,
inset 0px 0px 60px 5px #b22222;
}

.main-header { box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 60px 5px #b22222, 0 2px 15px #aaa; }
i hope this helps!
Kind regards // erdrag

9,335 PointsI was stuck on this for a long time. Placing the CSS on a single line works. Definitely a bug.

2,355 PointsI'm having this same problem and nothing is working! I've tried single line, and both #firebrick and #b22222.

11,159 PointsIncase anyone else comes across this problem. What I did was place all of the CSS in the quiz on one line with no carriage returns. That made the quiz pass for me and several others. Thanks.
