        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.

        As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of mink, bears, and Bald eagles.

I had the same issue, it looks like the program doesn't like rounding up or down. Try giving your h2 a font-size of 3.3125em and it should work properly :)

Hi Valerie,

This works. Interestingly my the calculator on my mac give exactly 3.31 for 53/16, while the calculator on my iphone give 3.3125 - even though both were use in scientific mode.
