A hint would be to look at the repeating numbers you have, which are specifying the margin of each side: top, right, bottom, left. You can actually set all of these with just 2 sets of parameters. So it would look something more like this:
/* Your format */
nav ul { margin: X X X X; }
/* Correct (Refactored) Format */
nav ul { margin: X X; }

You might want to update your example to use X and Y. It's impossible to know where the 0 and 10px would go for somebody that didn't already know about this.
