Hey there!

Well, for starters you've put the condition in the wrong property. The condition of the task says "Let's give .main-header an inner-shadow" and you've accidentally put it in the .main-heading property.

Now, since .main-header already has a box-shadow element (0 2px 15px #aaa) you should add the inner-shadow in there, separating the two with a comma. It should look like this: 

.main-header { 
      box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa, inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick; 
}
