But it's still not right since the element is posisioned relative to
the containing block which may be different from the canvas (which is what
challenge specifies).
This can be fixed with:
BLOCKQUOTE {
position: fixed;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -1em;
}
(all properties should have a "fixed" value :-)
It's still not quite what the challenge intended, though. Best to
rephrase the challenge.
