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.

SPOILER ALERT

This is pretty simple stuff, since the challenge lists the arguments to be used in order. The only trick to this one might be if you didn't remember that the "keyword value that creates an inner box shadow" is "inset".

Also remember that you're adding to what was already created in the previous 3 tasks. So, building on what you would already have for the main-header class:

.main-header {
  box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa,
              0 0 60px 5px firebrick inset;  /* <-- new for task 4 (and the comma above) */
}
