I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here. The instructions say: "Inside the media query, clear the left side of every 4th list item in the gallery."
So, the I wrote this code (the media query code was supplied, and the width part was for the first part of the challenge):
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
#gallery li { width: 28.33333%; }
#gallery li:nth-child(4) { clear: left; }
}
It doesn't pass, and I can't figure it out...what am I doing wrong?

5,777 PointsI tried (4n) which didn't work, but tried (4n+1) which did. I'm still not sure the technical difference.

28,560 PointsWhen writing code you have to check your work and make sure it is accurate. Are you missing something in the id of gallery??? Check to see if you are missing a n after the 4. gallery li:nth-child(4n) {clear: left;}

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
#gallery li { width: 28.33333%; }
#gallery li:nth-child(4n) { clear: left; }
}
The 4n should have worked. I must be something wrong with the server. Just keep submitting that answer.

29,275 PointsThe best answer is selected by the author of the post, when he/she feels that they have been helped and well informed on their question, if at all.
If it were my post then, yes, I would give you "Best Answer". But in this case it's up to Walker Reed.
Is that what you were asking?

5,777 PointsI do think there may be something wrong because I must have tried that 10 times. I think the confusion comes from the video that leads into this challenge just using li:nth-child(4). I still had my workspace open, so I was looking at the exact code that had been demonstrated for the track, but it wouldn't work in the challenge.
