So you got the right answer, but it just won’t work! Codeacademy just won’t accept it!
Just to be sure, the answer should be:
p:first-child {
font-family: Cursive;
}
BUT - you need to remove the comment at the top of “stylesheet.css” for the code to work. The comment is somthing like “/* write CSS code below*/“. Delete, then it will work.
I thought I would write this up here because I got very frustrated. Other answers for this state that you may need to change browsers for it to work. I tried chrome and firefox on windows 7 and then chrome, firefox and safari on my wife’s Macbook - but no result! So as a last shot I thought let’s just remove the css comment and see - and bingo.

For me it worked to add a space between div and the colon. Very strange…

Did you type Cursive? Try using all lowercase and it should work

The problem is that the instructions say “On the CSS tab, set the first paragraph’s font-family to cursive.”
Up until now the instructions have called for font-family types to be put in with an uppercase first character in the string (*such as Cursive or Tahoma). Just spell the font out all lowercase in this exercise and it works fine.

I have been using Maxthon browser up to this question, and had the CSS coding as above, but codeacademy just would not let me go to the next question. I changed to IE 11 and the same code worked.
