Sass Basics: Advanced Mixins

I'm stuck on question 4. I switched the variables with their associated arguments, but I'm still getting the "Bummer!" message. I don't see the error in my code in my "@mixin box."

The wording is a little confusing in the quiz, but I believe up to the point of task #4 your code should look like this:

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

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

You don't need that selector, ".square", or that mixin, "box".

Thanks for your help!
