Your code looks correct. I just did the quiz, and mine passed. I usually don't copy/paste an answer, but perhaps mine will work when yours doesn't.

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

@media (max-width: 1020px) {
  .main-header {
    background: tomato;
    color: white;
  }
}

@media (max-width: 768px) {
  .title {
    font-size: 1.4rem;
  }
  h1 {
    font-size: 5rem;
  }
}

So I have taken both your answers and put them next to each other

@media (max-width: 768px) {

@media (max-width: 768px) {

.title {

.title {

font-size: 1.4rem;

font-size: 1.4rem;

}

}

h1 {

h1 {

font-size: 5rem;

font-size: 5rem;

}

}

}

}

the only difference I can see between them is the indenting on the font-size. Maybe try fixing that? I would be surprised if that is the problem but I don't see anything else that you did differently than Matthew.

indenting fixed it.. thanks guys for both your answers! i truly appreciate it

That's strange, since spacing is important on CSS. The mystery deepens...
