CSS CSS Basics (2014) Enhancing the Design With CSS Media Queries

Media queries challenge task 2. I can not get it to accept my answer.

I'm stuck on the media queries challenge in CSS Basics. My code is: @media (max-width: 1020px) { .main-header { background-color: tomato; color: white; }

@media (max-width: 768px) { .title { font-size: 1.4rem; } .h1 { font-size: 5rem; } }

I keep getting the message : Bummer! Did you specify the correct font size for '.title'?

I tried various things and copied and pasted from different lines in my workspace to make sure the syntax is totally correct but I can't get it to accept my answer. Bummer! ;)

Is it me, or the challenge?

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

@media (max-width:  1020px)  {
   .main-header  {
     background-color:  tomato;
      color:  white;
   }

  @media (max-width: 768px)  {
    .title {
      font-size: 1.4rem;
    }
    .h1 {
      font-size: 5rem;
    }
  }
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">

Your second media query is currently nested in your first one, they should be separated.

@media (max-width:  1020px)  {
   .main-header  {
     background-color:  tomato;
      color:  white;
   }
}

  @media (max-width: 768px)  {
    .title {
      font-size: 1.4rem;
    }
    .h1 {
      font-size: 5rem;
    }
  }
