Code is clearly correct but will not pass the code challenge. Progress is stuck. . .

The system is asking me to change font size to 0.9em. My code as follows:

.contact-info ul { font-size: 0.9em; padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; }

As far as I can tell, this is absolutely correct and the system simply says "Remember to change your font size to 0.9em." If my code is wrong, please let me know where I am off. I would like to get on with further learnings.

Actually, your selector is not correct.

It says to select the unordered list with a class of contact-info

You are selecting an unordered list that is a child of an element with the class of contact-info

To visualize the HTML, it would be something like

<ul class="contact-info">
    <li>Item One</li>
    <li>Item Two</li>
</ul>

however your selector would select something like this

<div class="contact-info">
    <ul>
        <li>Item One</li>
        <li>Item Two</li>
    </ul>
</div>

Hope that makes sense and that gives you enough info to fix your answer.

That makes absolute sense. I somehow got the logic backwards in my head ;p Thank you so much for clearing that up, don't know why it stopped me like it did. I am back on the forward track :)

No problem Jason. Glad that was enough info for you got it figured out.

Another possible selector could have been ul.contact-info which would select only unordered lists with a class of "contact-info", which could be useful if another element like a div had the same class-name, but generally its not necessary to do so, and considered best practice not to do so unless you have a specific reason.
