CSS CSS Selectors Advanced Selectors :nth Pseudo-Class Challenge

Bummer! Did you clear the left side of the images? Like this: 'clear: left'

Hi There! I can't see where I'm going wrong here.

style.css
/* Write the CSS in the media query below */

@media (min-width: 607px) {
  img {
    float: left;
  }

  img:nth-child (3n+4) {
    clear: left;
  }
}

Hey Jessica,

You made (in my opinion) the most common error and one that I make countless times...

You put a space between your nth-child selector and the opening parentheses. Just remove the space and you are good to go.

@media (min-width: 607px) {
  img {
    float: left;
  }

  img:nth-child(3n+4) {           /* Removed Space */
    clear: left;
  }
}

Keep Coding! :)

Thanks so much Jason! This worked!
