The third challenge is:
Currently, the width of the div with the class main is set to 400px, but the padding applied is adding an extra 40 pixels to its total width. Add a property that forces the padding into the width of the div.
My solution was this:
box-sizing: border-box;
This was the solution provided in the lesson, but it was marked wrong. Can someone tell me why?

.main {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
