So your nested <ol> needs to be nested inside a <li>.
Like this:
<ul>
<li>
<ol>
<li></li>
</ol>
</li>
<li></li>
</ul>

4,267 PointsI made another thread about the same thing. I got 2 replies from other users and they both seem to think it's a bug (it is a brand new course after all). So we just got wait till one of the higher ups notices either one of our threads and fixes it.

Treehouse TeacherHi paul kinsley and Marcus H
That's really strange you're getting an error. I just pasted in this code into that Code Challenge task, and it passed.
I'll notify our developers so we can look into it. I apologize for the frustration and appreciate you asking for help on the forum. I'll update this post with new information as it becomes available.

Treehouse TeacherHi everyone,
It looks like we were experiencing some issues with our code challenges this weekend. If you try it again it should work now. If for some reason it doesn't please let us know and we'll look into it further. We're really sorry for this and appreciate you all being patient with us.
