The rules for CSS say that when the same selector (or one with the same specificity) appears more than once, any properties set in the last one will override any set previously. So your "max-width" setting is being overridden by the setting later in the file.

But if you place your new code at the end of the file, then it will take precedence and pass the challenge.
