Hey!

It doesn't accept my last, third answer.

My respond is:

.social-links a{ padding: 15px; margin: 10px; }

and boomer says: Don't forget the opening curly brace following the rule's CSS selector!

What's wrong?

.social-links a{
  padding: 15px;
  margin: 10px;
}

<!--do you need a child a for social links, this will not be effective with the a inside.-->
