Hi Cesare,

Looks like the challenge is being a bit picky, and wants the shorthand version. I believe your code would have the same effect - I just picked up on the way they asked for it, and tried the shorthand. In any case, this code will pass:

.main {
  column-count: 2;
  column-gap: 2.5em;
  column-rule: 1px dotted red;
}

YES!

You are right! Didn't think about the shorthand version!!!
