issue with create validation rules challenge

Hello,
For below challenge, 
To complete this challenge, add a validation rule which will block the insertion of a contact if the contact is related to an account and has a mailing postal code (which has the API Name MailingPostalCode) different from the account's shipping postal code (which has the API Name ShippingPostalCode).Name the validation rule 'Contact must be in Account ZIP Code'.
A contact with a MailingPostalCode that has an account and does not match the associated Account ShippingPostalCode should return with a validation error and not be inserted.
The validation rule should ONLY apply to contact records with an associated account. Contact records with no associated parent account can be added with any MailingPostalCode value. (Hint: you can use the ISBLANK function for this check)

I create validation rule as below.

Rule Name: Contact_must_be_in_Account_ZIP_Code Active [Checked]
Error Condition Formula: IF( AND(NOT( ISBLANK( AccountId )) ,NOT(ISBLANK( MailingPostalCode ))) , IF( MailingPostalCode = Account.ShippingPostalCode , false, true) , false)
Error Message: Contact must be in Account ZIP Code Error Location: Mailing Zip/Postal Code
Description: Contact must be in Account ZIP Code

trailhead check challenge is giving below error.
Challenge not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
The validation rule failed to enforce the business logic

can some one help on finding the solution.
thanks in advance.

as per the logic given by you, if an account is linked to a contact , we should always check wthether the mailing postal code is equal to shipping postal code or not (whether user enters mailing postal code or not). am i correct

What does the "!=" stand for? I could not find it among the operators.
