The quiz keeps saying "be sure to float the gallery list items to the left" and set width to 45%. Where did i mess up?

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 {

float: center; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 0; list-style: none; }

gallery li {

float: left; width: 45%; }

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 {
  float: center;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  width: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
}

The css for the gallery li is correct. However, the previous question asks you to "Select the element with the ID gallery. Then, remove the margin, padding, and bullet points.". You have that mostly correct by setting your margin to 0, your padding to 0 and your list-style to none. There is no reason to float to the center or have a width of 0. By adding that unnecessary code, it's possible that it is causing the next question to render incorrect even though it is correctly written.

This would get that part of the code correct. 

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

The code you wrote for gallery li is correctly written.

#gallery li {
    float: left;
    width: 45%;
}
