The instructions for task 4 state box-shadow can take multiple comma-seperated values and you are to create a second set of box-shadow values. This means you keep the values for task 3 and in task 4 add another set of values separated by a comma.

Some additional hints:

  • You have a typo with the word inset
  • firebrick doesn't start with a hash symbol
