I am not sure why it won't let me past this code challenge. I think that the answer I have typed in is right. However,

it is not letting me pass the code challenge. I am not sure what I could be doing wrong.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Relative Length Units</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="cc1-main-styles.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
    <body>
    <div class="box">
        <h1>Let's use Font-Relative Length Units</h1>
        <p>

style.css 
/* Write your CSS code below */

You don't need the # before h1 in your CSS. The # is only for use in selecting an ID. The h1 here doesn't need an ID, all you need to do is select the element (h1) itself, so you don't need anything before it in the CSS. Give this a go:

h1 {
font-size: 2.5em;
}
