Is this a glitch?

I keep getting an error on this code challenge. Every time I submit it, it says "be sure to set the font-size to 0.9em" But I think I have already done so. Here is my code:

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

Hi Samantha

If you read the question carefully, its says "select the unordered list with the class contact-info".

The way you have written your code would be correct if your HTML mark up was similar to this:

<div class="contact-info">
    <ul>
        <li>List item</li>
    </ul>
</div>

However the HTML code looks something like this: (Because it's the ul that has the class .contact-info)

<ul class="contact-info">
    <li>List item</li>
</ul>

So to target this you could either do

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

or

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

I made the same mistake as you when reviewing the quiz, it took me a couple of minutes to realised what the question was actually saying :)
