Unable to pass this question, help.

Question 4/4 on the Quiz as i understand is asking me to add another set of box-shadow property with specific values. I believe i believe i have written the code correctly but its not accepting my answer.

Question is:

Just like the text-shadow property the box-shadow can take multiple comma-seperated values to add additional shadows to the same element.

Let's give .main-header an inner-shadow with a second set of box-shadow values. Set the new shadow's horizontal and vertical offsets to 0, the blur radius to 60px, the spread radius to 5px, and the color to firebrick. Don't forget to include the keyword value that creates an inner box shadow.

Here is the code i submitted for this question:

.main-header {
  box-shadow: inset 0px 2px 15px #aaa; 
  box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 60px 5px firebrick;

}
style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-heading {
  text-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #be7b31;
}

.title {
  text-shadow: 1px 3px 0px #e59740;
}

.main-header {
  box-shadow: inset 0px 2px 15px #aaa; 
  box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 60px 5px firebrick;

}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.
            </p>
            <a class="callout" href="#more">Find out more</a>
        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->

        <footer class="main-footer">

            <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>

If you add another property with the same name, it overrides the first one.

To create both properties, use only one property name and separate the two sets of values with a comma:

Also note that the "inset" value was not part of the instructions for the first set of values.
