991 PointsNeed help on the challenge asking to set the h2's 53px size to a relative em size.
So on the challenge it says to set the h2 font size of 53px to a relative em size. The h2 parent element is 16px. So I set it to 5.313 but the challenge says its wrong. What is incorrect about that??
This is how I wrote the code
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
header { font-size: 1.8em; }
.title { font-size: 1.625rem; }
h1 { font-size: 5.625rem; }
h2 { font-size: 5.313em; }

You should be dividing the 53px by the 16px parent font-size.
I get 3.3125

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Michael,
In general, for these types of problems you should do the division on a calculator to get the most accurate results. You want to keep as many decimal places as possible. In this case, a calculator gives the exact answer of 3.3125 instead of the rounded off answer of 3.313 that any kind of program or website might give you.

2,885 PointsI have been having a similar issue as well, I am quite familiar with CSS coding and even double verified through several conversions and my Dreamweaver program, to arrive at 3.313em. There needs to be some clarification in terms of what rounding is expected as well as to specifically define exactly what is required within the question.

991 PointsYeah I did. Must be a glitch.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsSorry it's not working out for you.
Maybe try doing a hard refresh on the code challenge page. Or clearing the browser cache.
If the problem persists then I would contact treehouse support.

7,363 PointsJason, i'm not going to apologize for using the resources provided in the teachers notes. If it is so wrong to use them then they should not be provided. i wasn't asking for help, i was stating that it happened to me too.
Jason Anello
Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsI apologize if it came across that way. That was not my intention. Nobody should be expecting you to apologize for that.
I was only trying to clear up any confusion that others may have who come across this same problem.
I will alert the staff to the problem.

991 PointsI used that value but it still marks it as a wrong answer. I guess its the challenge thats wrong not me. Thanks for the help anyways.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsDid you specify it like this for task 2?
That passes task 2 for me. Maybe give it another try.
