Media query

Now, clear the left side of every 4th list item in the element with the id of #gallery. hint. You'll need to write another selector inside the media query at the bottom of the file. In addition to the one you wrote in the previous step. You'll also need to use the nth-child pseudo selector.

I received this message. Bummer! Did you set clear-left on every fourth gallery list item?

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {

Be careful with your spacing in CSS remember a space means something.

Your code should look like this.

#gallery li:nth-child(4) { //note no space between **li:nth-child(4)**
clear: left;
}

Hope that helps you.

Also if you need to clear every 4th item then use below.

#gallery li:nth-child(4n) { //(4n) - this will clear every 4th element starting with element 4, then 8, 12 ect
clear: left;
}

Try this out:

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