Your code above isn't the same as in the challenge but the concept remains the same.

As Michael pointed out, there's a semicolon missing after your width property in the nav element.

Also, for the nth-child part, you mustn't have a space between that and the opening bracket:

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
  #gallery li {
    width: 28.333%; 
  }

  #gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
    clear: left;
  }
}

Above is the solution to the code challenge, but the principles are the same. Omit the space between nth-child and (4n).

I hope that helps.

Steve.
