Incorrect arrangement of images

In the video, at 9:30, we see that the images are arranged incorrectly when the screen is reduced to a certain size. Why is the 4th image (num 9) placed under the third and not below the 1st one ? What is the meaning of "clear" the 4th image ?

I'm having trouble with this as well. I tried adding padding to each of the gallery list elements for the bottom to make sure the captions had enough room without bumping into the 4th elements but it didn't work.

Maybe HTML/CSS changed since the video came out.

Never mind, I seemed to have solved it. I had originally added a comment in my gallery section as such:

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

/*COMMENT*/

}

Only when I tried removing the comment, did the content on my webpage work as responsively as it did in Nick's example. Hope that helps somebody.

I believe in the video he makes reference to this: at certain screen sizes, the 4th element runs into the caption text from the 1st element and the "float" means that the 4th element is trying to float around that caption text. Clearing the 4th element circumvents that, and allows everything to flow correctly again.
