35,469 PointsHello. The last value in the RGBA color should be a number between 0 and 1. It could be something like 0.2, 0.8, etc... that value is supposed to be the alpha, so: 0.0 is fully transparent and 1.0 is fully opaque.

32,861 PointsYou have your blur radius and your spread radius mixed up. Switch those, and change the color to just #222. It asks for the hexadecimal color of #222, not an rgba color.

4,754 PointsCreate a drop shadow for the .box div. Make it appear 10px to the right and 10px down, with a spread radius of 5px, a color of #222, and a blur radius of 15px.
