I'm pretty sure that the detection for whether the background-size for .contact-info a elements is broken.

I have it typed perfectly, I even copied it from my workspace that has a working version of the site created in the videos.

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%;
}

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

.contact-info a {
  display: block;
  min-height: 20px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 20px;
  padding: 0 0 0 30px;
}

Nathan,

In the question, they say that the background size should be "20 pixels square." If we take this to mean 20px wide by 20px tall, we should specify both the height and width in our background-size declaration. So, instead of background-size: 20px; they want to see background-size: 20px 20px;

Hope that helps!

May I ask why it is different from the video? That's confusing because from doing the video it looks like just putting 20px once makes it 20px square :P
