Inside the media query, clear the left side of every 4th gallery list item...not sure what I'm doing wrong

challenge question...I typed it in exactly as shown in the video, and it works on my workspaces/website...but not here. Unless I'm getting tired and misspelled, but I can't find it

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: β€˜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 {
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  font-size: 0.9em;
}

.contact-info a {
  display: block;
  min-height: 20px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 20px 20px;
  padding: 0 0 0 30px;
  margin: 0 0 10px;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
  #gallery li {
    width: 28.3333%}

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

}

Thanks! In addition the semicolon after 28.3333%, I also should have used a colon instead of a period when listing nth-child, like so:

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

could it be the missing semicolon after the percent sign ?

width: 28.333%; }

Hey there,

I had to read over this a bunch to find it, seems you are missing a ; after width: 28.3333% Try:

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
  #gallery li {
    width: 28.3333%;
}

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

}

Hope this helps
