Stuck in the Code Challenge ... please help!

Hi everyone,

I can't seem to complete the 2nd Code Challenge task:

Indent the paragraph's first line by 50px.

I don't see anything wrong with my code. Help would be appreciated.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Text Properties</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
</head>
<body>
    <h1>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog</h1>
    <p>
        Pellentesque sem augue, auctor quis dictum et, interdum nec felis. Suspendisse faucibus viverra enim, vitae facilisis mi euismod id. Morbi ac erat mauris, a semper ligula. Etiam semper. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
        <a href="#">Aliquam vel metus sit amet nulla et dolor</a>
    </p>
</body>
</html>
style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

h1 {
  text-transform: capitalize;

  text-indent: 3.125em;
}

Hi Annika, I would try indenting by 50px specifically rather than a relative value.
