The <ul> with the class main-list is a block-level element by default, so it takes up its container's full width. Set .

So here it looks like you need to set the width of the <ul> and set it's display.

I suggest removing the rule you have for .main-list li a and adding in

.main-list {
  width: 100%;
  display: inline-block;
}

Hope this helps

Hi Boris ( & Claire)!

This passes all three tasks

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

header {
  text-align: center;
}
.logo {
  display: block; /*** Task 3 ***/
  width: 60px;
  margin: auto;
}
.main-list,     /*** Task 2 ***/
.main-list li { /*** Task 1 ***/
  display: inline-block;
}

Keep in mind that block makes an element take up the full width of the parent container whereas inline-block makes an element only as wide as its content (and padding).

More info:

I hope that helps.

Stay safe and happy coding!
