Hi Nicholas,

You have a space after the colon : in your nth-child selector which is invalid syntax.

Remove that space and you should pass.

#gallery li:nth-child(4n) {

Hi Jason,

I went back and you are right, there was an extra space after the colon. Thank you!

set the nth-child to (4n + 4) which means start with the 4th and then every 4th.

You've got an extra pair of braces there. Everything else is correct.

It should read:

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

Still learning to use Markdown. My apologies for the bad formatting but I hope this helps!
