:nth-of-type selector

I typed img:nth-of-type(1) { clear: left; }

Still I get a bummer in code challenge.What am I doing wrong?

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

@media (min-width: 607px) {
  img {
    float: left;
  }
  img:nth-of-type(11n+1) {
   clear: left;
  }
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Selectors</title>
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

Hi Martin, I don't know specifically what you're trying to do and my account is paused so I can't see the code challenge. I believe this is the challenge you're stuck on though (and here's the resolution):

Sorry for the confusion.

Are you trying to do nth-child?

@media (min-width: 607px) {
  img {
    float: left;
  }
  img:nth-child(11n+1) {
   clear: left;
  }
}

This will clear the 1st, 12th, 23rd, 34th ... elements.
