a:after {
    content: " " attr(href) "";
}

This looks like the problem. It should be 

a::after {
  content: attr(href);
}

Which you have at the bottom, I think the top one is confusing the grader.

a::after {
  content: attr(href);
}

this works if you add it as new rule under the 3rd .prog rule
