What am I supposed to do next, I am stuck, I've done all that he taught in the last video.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

header {
  text-align: center;
}
.logo {
  width: 60px;
  margin: auto;
}
.main-list ul li{display:inline-block;
width:auto%;
padding:10px o;}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>CSS Layout</title>
    <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Varela+Round' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
    <body>
    <div class="container">
        <header>
            <img class="logo" src="city-logo.svg" alt="An illustration of a building">
            <ul class="main-list">
                <li><a href="#">Donuts</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Tea</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Coffee</a></li>
            </ul>
        </header>

First of all the class of the ul tag is .main-list, you only have to include the class of the tag, not the tag itself, otherwise you're telling the browser to find a ul inside the ul (main list). I hope that makes sense.

The code for challange one should be.. 

.main-list li {
 display: inline-block;
}

and after that, how you adjust the width?

Following on from the comment above...

Instead of having the width as auto% and padding, try using just a width of 30%.

 .main-list li {
    display: inline-block;
    width: 30%;
};
