Simple CSS Question - Code Challenge Width Height and Overflow

Hi There

I am doing the code challenge for Width Height and Overflow in the CSS Foundations course

The code challenge is Finally, add an overflow property that automatically provides scrollbars if and where they are needed.

The code I am using is 

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
nav a {
display:inline-block;
width:100px;
}

div.main {
box-sizing: border-box;       
max-height: 150px;
overflow: scroll;
}

I cannot see for the life of me why it will now work

Hey Graham Davidson,

The keyword in the code challenge question is "automatically."

Hope this helps :)
