failing to set font size for an unordered list of a class

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

The above code is failing to work

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: ‘Changa One’, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

nav ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0 10px;
  padding: 0;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
}

nav a {
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}

.profile-photo {
  display: block;
  margin: 0 auto 30px;
      max-width: 150px;
  border-radius: 100%;
}

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

try removing the .contact-info and it should be correct

It won't accept it because there are other lines in your code keeping the task from passing.

Your issue is actually that you selected too much. When it asked that you select the unordered list with the class contact-info, it didn't need you to select *.contact-info ul{}* . There actually is no such thing, since the very the thing the class is connected to is the unordered list in question.

<ul class="contact-info">

It needed you to just select the .contact-info class since you didn't need to be redundant. Does that make sense?

Here's what it should look like:

either

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

or this works too, I would just be more inclined to use the former in case I have multiple ul(s) in a document.

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

I hope this helps!! :-)
