Reversing the values gives an error, Sass Basics final Quiz

For some reason, every time I try to include the square mixin with the values backwards in task 4, it gives me an error. I have tried re-writing it, but with no difference. The question asks you to do this, so I can't understand what's going wrong.

Please help!

It isn't very clear but what the quiz is asking you to do is set those attributes to their values

/* Write your SCSS code below. */

@mixin square( $size, $color:black) {
  height: $size;
  width: $size;
  border: 1px solid $color;
}

.box {
  @include square( $color:red, $size:10px );
}

In the include, you don't have to use them in order so long as you specify what variable each value maps to.
