The instructions ask for " a unitless line-height", so your first try would have been correct.

However, the previous task asked specifically for a "font-size" setting, but the code above just says "font".

Thanks for the quick reply and also the second pair of eyes! It worked for me, i just need to add the -size... for some reason that had been missing without me realizing it.

forgot to mention... 1.6; was correct not 160% as you mentioned it was supposed to be unitless.
