When providing multiple comma-separated value sets, the property name should only appear once before the entire list of value sets.

Remove the extra "box-shadow:" from the second property set and you should pass the challenge.

It's the same task but a somewhat different issue, the other guy created a separate rule and replaced the first setting with the second one.

The example here is closer to correct and just has a stray extra property name inside the values list.
