Problem with CSS Code

Every time I try to recheck my work, it keeps giving me the same error, can you please help!

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: Changa One, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width:100%
}

#gallery {
  margin:0 0 0 0;
  padding:0 0 0 0;
  list-style-type:none;
}

#gallery li, ul {
  float:left;
  width:45%;

look at your img max-width carefully.

can you see the difference to mine?

You was very close

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style-type: none;
}

#gallery li {
  width: 45%;
  float: left;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: red;
  color: blue;
}

I used that code to complete the challenge, maybe if you remove the ul from this part of your code.

Also please be aware that with this part of code you are selecting the tag gallery's lists and all the unordered lists, if you wanted to just select just the gallerys lists then you must write the tag gallery again. As shown underneath your code.

<!-- Your code -->
#gallery li, ul {
  float:left;
  width:45%;
  margin:2.5%;
  color:blue;
  background-color:grey;
}

<!-- Solution code -->
#gallery li {
  width:45%;
  float:left;
  margin:2.5%;
  color:blue;
  background-color:grey;
}

<!-- Correct way to select them both incase you are interested -->
#gallery li, #gallery ul {
  float:left;
  width:45%;
  margin:2.5%;
  color:blue;
  background-color:grey;
}
