CSS CSS Basics (2014) Understanding Values and Units Styling the Intro Paragraph

Won't accept my answer but I'm pretty sure it's correct!

This says to give intro a unitless line-height that's 1.6 times larger than the font-size value, which is 1.25em. When I enter "2" it says that I'm not giving the correct answer. What's going on?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>
    <div class="primary-content t-border">
      <p class="intro">
        Lake Tahoe is one of the most <span>breathtaking attractions</span> 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.
      </p>
      <a href="#more">Find out more</a>
    </div>
    <footer class="main-footer">
      <p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p>
      <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>
style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.intro {
  font-size: 1.25em;
  line-height: 2;
}

I finally realized they were telling you to give a value of literally just "1.6", not to do any math! Never mind. :)

This is a bug, can someone please look at fixing it? When we get the wrong answer it says "Make sure you're setting a unitless line-height value that multiplies the font-size value by 1.6." which re-enforces the poor wording choice in the question. The answer should be 2.
