I'm not sure this quiz is correct. I'm not sure what it really wants me to do!

Hi Kabolobari, the code challenge asks you to give the .main-header element an inner shadow, while your code for setting this value is correct, it's better/easier to set it after the initial box-shadow value, like so:

.main-header {
  box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa, inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick ;
}

Thanks very much. I later got it, though. :)
