No idea.

Please help me understand this problem :) Using the border-radius shorthand, give each corner of the .oval div a horizontal radius of 100px and a vertical radius of 50px.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Border-radius</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="rounded box"></div>
    <div class="oval box"></div>
</body>
</html>
style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.rounded {
  border-radius: 30px;

}

.oval {
  border-radius: 

}

You can give a horizontal and a vertical component of the radius by:

border-radius: [horizontal radius]/[vertical radius];

Hey Reggie,

Your code should look like this:

.oval {
  border-radius: 100px / 50px;
}
