969 PointsHi, Ronald I understand it's frustrating when something doesn't work so let's do it step-by-step :
Your code at 5/6 tasks should look like that -
<ol>
<li>Stop</li>
<li>Drop</li>
<li>Roll</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>Shapes</li>
<li>Colors</li>
</ul>
And this is how it should look at 6/6 -
<ol>
<li>Stop</li>
<li>Drop</li>
<li>Roll</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>Shapes
<ol>
<li>Square</li>
<li>Circle</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Colors</li>
</ul>

969 PointsHey Ronald,
- Delete the <li> elements : Square & Circle
- Create an <li> element named: "shapes"
- In that element nest an ordered list, with the items: square & circle
Then you should pass the task, hope I've helped

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 56,430 PointsI have copied my code exactly the way you yours, and i am on task 6/6. and every time i hit check. it says i have too many list items under the unordered list. i don't know what else to do.
