Hi there,

It says Change the text size of the TextView below to 72sp which is different to wanting the text size set to below 72sp. Remove the word below, as this is referencing the position of the code, not the quantum of the property. The TextView is below the question - it doesn't want you to set the size to below 72. It wants you to set the size to 72sp.

Steve.
