16,510 PointsHi Nemanja,
I knew I'd seen some discussion on this issue before. Take a look at the community post by Daniel Jeffery over on https://teamtreehouse.com/community/not-so-much-a-question-read-on
He explains the issue (it's to do with a padding value) and offers a solution.
(I will also edit your post above to add the markdown to make your code appear correctly)
