Remove the anchor elements. Your code is fine but they're what's causing you to fail the challenge.

I'm sorry, what are anchor elements?

Remove these. Basically remove the hyperlinks since they're not needed since challenge is only asking for links to your imgs. Just checked myself and passed without those. I believe it's not working since the editor is seeing that first and thus it's ignoring your img links.

edit: not sure how to paste the code correctly in the forums but basically remove these elements.

< a href="img/numbers-01.jpg"> < /a>
